"We witness blasts in Kunar every day. The government should prevent such attacks," said Nasir Kamawal, a member of the Kunar provincial council.

"Over the last 24 hours, attacks were carried out in Panjwai, Arghistan, Maiwand, Shah Wali Kot, Nesh, Mianshin and Takhta Pul districts and other outposts," said Jamal Barikzai, front man for the Kandahar police.
The government forces said that all Taliban attacks were pushed back and they suffered heavy casualties.

forces commander in Afghanistan Gen. Scott Miller said: "A return to violence would be one senseless and tragic. But make no mistake, we have the military means to respond forcefully to any type of attacks against the coalition and the military means to support the Afghan cops. That would be a mistake to move in that direction."
"Security forces are in a better position," said Fawad Aman, a front man for the Ministry of Defense. "The Taliban is faced with defeat on the battlefield and all their focus is on harming civilians."
The US forces started their withdrawal from Afghanistan on May 1st.
