the commander of the Special Operations Corps said the unit's activity has increased by 30 percent following the official start of the withdrawal of foreign forces from the country two months ago.
According to the Afghan government, over the past one month, 6,033 Taliban fighters were killed--among them 33 Pak nationals--and 3,485 Taliban fighters were maimed--among them 9 Pak nationals.

The Taliban, however, has rejected the claims by the Afghan government.
"Our entire force is staying in an emergency position, particularly the commandos and special operation forces," said Ajmal Omar Shinwari, a front man for the ANDSF.
"In the planning and technical fields we confronted some challenges," added Shinwari.
Afghan security officials said that during the past one month, the ANDSF air force carried out 491 attacks on Taliban positions.
