LASHKARGAH (Pajhwok): An intense gunbattle between security forces and Taliban militants entered a second day on Tuesday in the Nawa district of southern Helmand province, the district police chief said.
Col. Ahmadshah Salim told Pajhwok Afghan News the clash erupted two days ago when the armed rebels launched coordinated attacks on all security posts in the district, calling for urgent support from the central government.
The police official said they had lost communication with the check-posts after coming under attack.
