To convey the message of their frustration over the killing of civilians by Afghan security forces, the residents of Nangarhar have closed the Torkham-Jalalabad highway for any traffic movement.
The residents claim that 17 civilians lost their lives on Tuesday as a result of Afghan special forces operations in the eastern part of Nangarhar.
However, according to local officials’ comment to Radio Azadi, the highway might have been reopened to traffic.
