KABUL insurgents on Friday, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said.
MoD spokesman Dawlat Waziri on his Facebook page wrote the Afghan forces recaptured the district as a result of a massive operation. He said the rebels had sustained heavy casualties, but provided no figure.
Waziri said the security forces escaped unhurt in the operation. A combing operation in the district was underway, he added.
But the Taliban claimed defeating the security forces and causing them huge casualties in clashes over control of the district . . .
