MoD says more than 1500 threats from the oppositions of government including group attacks and suicide attacks thwarted by the Afghan forces in this season.

Officials claimed that the armed oppositions of the government lost control to capture parts of the country.

However, the armed oppositions of the government are trying to capture some parts of the country by launching group attacks but the Afghan security forces do not remain silent and they have also launched heavy operations against them.

“Security threats exist in several parts of the country but the oppositions failed to reach their aims. In the last two months many operations have launched but unfortunately most of civilians have been the victims of these movements,” Gen. Afzal Aman, head of defense ministry operation said.

Dawlat Waziri, deputy spokesman of defense ministry said, “The last power of Taliban would be this season which they also lost their power. They will not be able to launch any terrorist attacks anymore.”

This comes as the Taliban commander headquarters that are fighting with Afghan security forces are controlled by the foreigners.

The ministry of defense also noted that they are not indifferent against war between Taliban group and Daesh.

MoD is said to consider Daesh group a serious threat for Afghanistan; adding Afghan troops will use any equipment to destroy the enemies.
