JALALABAD (Pajhwok): Operation Qahar Selab was a failure because Daesh militants reoccupied areas from security forces in the Achin district of eastern Nangarhar province, said officials of the troubled town.
While residents say Daesh or the so-called Islamic State (IS) returned and reestablished their centres in the district’s key areas including Pikhi Khwar, Abdulkhel and Mamand Dara, forcing local residents into fleeing.
However, Afghan National Army (ANA) officials in the east say the operation has major achievements and resulted in heavy casualties to Daesh group.
