Kunar still under insurgent’s fires

A widespread operation has been launched by Afghan security forces to defeat Taliban insurgents who have raid into Dangam district of Kunar province since the last couple of days, officials.

Sediq Sediqy, Afghan Interior Ministry Spokesman confirmed that yet they have killed more than 30 anti-government militants and the only problem they are facing is the natural barriers, but Afghan security forces are struggling to annihilate the attackers.

On the other hand Members of the Afghan Parliament praised Kunar residents and seriously asked the government to support and equip the residents to harness the conflict.

“The security condition in Kunar is as worse as you can see Taliban check point from the Governor house, there is only 5 kilometer space between Taliban check points and the Governor house, our security forces are not equipped with heavy weapons, I admire Kunar people defending their lands,” a Member of Parliament stated.

Dangam residents have lost their properties and most of them are forced to leave their houses.

Kunar is among the volatile provinces in eastern part of Afghanistan where anti-government armed militant groups are actively operating in a number of its districts.

Recently more than 2,000 Afghan and Pakistani Taliban attacked Dangam district where they faced with local militia forces and heavy clashes are still ongoing.
