The Afghan Ministry of Defense said that the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) have dealt major blows to the Taliban during the recent spate of violence in various parts of the country.
"Heavy casualties were inflicted to the enemy particularly in Helmand, Baghlan, Ghazni, Maidan Wardak and Kandahar provinces. The security forces are crushing forces of Evil with more strength than ever before," said Rohullah Ahmadzai, front man for the Ministry of Defense.
Ahmadzai said that the ANDSF stormed a gathering of high-profile Taliban members in Bolan area outside Lashkargah city and killed a key Taliban commander and maimed their shadow governors.
"At least six security force members were martyred following their resistance against the Taliban in Arezo village of Ghazni, three more solders were maimed. Likewise, 12 other (soldiers) were taken hostage by the Taliban. In the second outpost, no resistance occurred and eight soldiers surrendered to the Taliban," said Hassan Reza Yousufi, member of Ghazni provincial council.
"It is not right that the government evacuate outposts or districts and deploy in the center of the cities. We should take the war from the centers to the districts and to the remote areas," said Khan Agha Rezayee, the head of parliament’s internal security commission.
In western Afghanistan, at least 23 Taliban fighters were killed and 27 others were maimed after the Afghan Air Force targeted a gathering of local Taliban commanders in Bala Buluk district of the province, local officials said.

"The Taliban once again proved their dark face. They massacred the hostages," said Dadullah Qane, the head of Farah provincial council.
