According to the statement, Taliban fighters suffered heavy casualties during the operation. The Ministry of Defense, however, did not elaborate on the figures.
Munir Rahimi, spokesman for the Samangan police, said that Amir Shahidullah, the Taliban’s deputy district governor for the district, and four of his bodyguards had been killed in the operation by government forces and uprising forces.
However, local sources in Nijrab district of Kapisa province reported that after several days of fierce fighting between Taliban fighters and security forces, the district finally fell to the Taliban on Sunday night. Sources said that security forces have been relocated to Tapa Nijrab area and are trying to re-liberate the district from Taliban control.
Also, Deh Rawood district was the sixth district in Uruzgan province that fell to the Taliban last night. All districts have fallen within a week. Provincial Governor Mohammad Omar Sherzad said that security personnel from Deh Rawood district arrived in Tarinkot city last night. The Taliban have also claimed to completely control the district. This comes as Tarinkot, the provincial capital, is surrounded from all directions, whilst all other areas of the province are under Taliban control.
Meanwhile, Abdul Zahir Faizada, the governor of Ghor, told BBC that the Taliban had “closed” water supply to residents of the Dawlat Yar district since the past 12 days. He said that the Taliban’s aim was to “threaten” the people of district.

About two weeks ago, local officials in Ghor province announced that hundreds of residents of the district had mobilized against the Taliban and expressed their support for the security forces. Governor of Ghor claimed that the blocked water canal is 25 kilometers long and irrigates about 5,000 acres of peasant land. According to him, one thousand families use it for drinking water and 1,200 gardens are irrigated. He said the Taliban had “planted mines” by closing the canals.
Agriculture in the district is said to have been “severely damaged” by the water cut. The people have called for the help of government and charitable organizations to solve this problem and called on the government to ensure the security of this section.
