took part in this operation, the Shaheen Corps Commander Gen. Haibatullah Alizai said, adding that the operation will continue.

One of the main areas in Chamtal district that was retaken by security forces was Pul-e-Bangaala village, which has witnessed many festivities between Afghan forces and Taliban, he said.

"That area is the Pul-e-Bangala area, from where the Taliban were holding attacks on us," Gen. Alizai, said. "The area is cleared now."

Other operations, he said, are underway in Shor Tepa, Balkh, Zari Chamtal, Dawlat Abad, and Charbolak district in the northern province of Balkh.

It was expected that the conflicts would deescalate in winter, but experts said the war has intensified, especially in rural areas.

"The enemy cannot face the Afghan forces. They are escaping. We are in Chamtal and vulnerable areas of the district are cleared," Balkh Police Chief Colonel Mohammad Ajmal Faiz said.
