province of Afghanistan, the defense authorities said Wednesday.

The Ministry of Defense (MoD) said at least 3 faceless myrmidons were also maimed during the operations conducted in Khanshin and Nad-e-Ali districts.

According to an operational update by the Ministry of Defense (MoD), the Afghan army artillery and ground forces pounded the Taliban bandidos myrmidons in the two districts during the past 24 hours.

This comes as reports emerged earlier this week that the Talibs have taken control of Khanshin district following a coordinated attack.

According to the local authorities, the Talibs have overrun some security posts which were providing security to the district administrative compound.

The official further added that festivities still continue between the Talibs and the security forces after the control of the security posts were lost.

Helmand is among the volatile provinces in southern Afghanistan where anti-government armed murderous Moslem groups are actively operating in its various districts and frequently carry out insurgency activities.

The Talibs have repeatedly launched coordinated attacks to capture key districts in Helmand province during the past several months.
