JALALABAD (Pajhwok): Twenty villages have been cleared of Daesh insurgents in the Achin district of eastern Nangarhar province, the military claimed on Sunday.
The Afghan army officials said local uprising members would be stationed in areas cleared of Daesh rebels. But the uprising forces demand heavy weapons to protect their areas from militants.
Selab Military Corps Operations Commander Col. Qand Agha Sapi told Pajhwok Afghan News that 20 villages had been cleared of insurgents during an operation that was launched four days ago.
Habibullah, a local uprising member, said they could fight empty . . .
