[ToloNews] The Afghan Defense and Security Forces retook the control of Deh Yak district, a rural district in the eastern part of the central Ghazni province, 30 kilometers in the east of Ghazni city.

The Ministry of Defense said in a statement on Monday that the district was under Taliban

influence for two years.

The statement said that during the past two years, the Taliban were using civilians as a shield which prevented the advancement of the security forces.

Colonel Mubin, an army commander in Ghazni, said the operation started at around 6am local time on Monday, in which the snuffies were surrounded from three directions.

He said the district was under snuffies influence for more than a year.

"The enemy does not have the ability to fight against the Afghan defense and security forces. And meanwhile, the Alftha offensive of the enemy has failed," he added.

He said they have many plans on hand to maintain the security of the district.
Khaama Press adds:
The Ministry of Defense (MoD) in a statement said the Talibs were in control of Deh Yak district for the past two years and were consistently using civilians as shields to prevent the Afghan forces’ advance.

The statement further added that the Afghan forces will continue to their operations to storm the remaining hideouts of the enemies.

The Ministry of Defense says the remaining parts of the country where Death Eaters have presence will be cleared in the near future.

Ghazni is among the relatively volatile provinces in South-east of Afghanistan. Talibs are active in some of the restive districts of the province where they often attempt to carry out terrorist related activities against the government and security institutions.

In the meantime, the Afghan forces are busy conducting counter-terrorism operations to suppress the anti-government armed elements in the restive districts of Ghazni and other parts of the country.
