Officials from the Afghan National Army (ANA) on Monday said troops are advancing their military campaign against Taliban operatives in the volatile region of Logar province in a move to eliminate insurgent strongholds.  

They said army forces have dealt major blows to the Taliban in some key areas of Mohammad Agha district in the province, which resulted in the elimination of dozens of Taliban fighters including the group’s local commander, Jamaluddin. 

The operations will continue until all areas in the insecure regions are cleared of Taliban, said officials.
