LASHKARGAH (Pajhwok): Afghan security forces were able to reopen the road leading to troubled Sangin district of southern Helmand province after remaining closed for one year, an official said on Saturday.
Maj. Gen. Mohammad Moin Faqiri, the 2015th Maiwand Military Corps commander, told Pajhwok Afghan News the road between Sangin and Lashkargah, the provincial capital, was reopened for traffic as a result of months-long military offensive.
During the operation, he said, a dozen Taliban militants were killed and some others were wounded and 150 landmines planted . . .
