Afghan Forces Retake Key District in Balkh
Afghan forces retook control of Kaldar district in the northern province of Balkh as clashes continue near the provincial centers in Ghazni, Faryab and Takhar provinces.
The Hairatan border town, which is a key trade gateway and a port between Afghanistan and Uzbekistan, is located in Kaldar district. The district is located along the Amu River and shares a border with Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.
The district fell to the Taliban a month ago. It was retaken by security forces and members of the public uprising forces on Monday.
“Our forces have made good progress. We will make efforts to protect civilians,” Balkh governor’s spokesman Adil Shah Adil said.
