Afghan government froces attack Taliban positions in nine provinces, killing at least 51 - Afghanistan's Defence Ministry
More than 2,400 Americans have died since the US invaded Afghanistan in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Afghanistan’s Defence Ministry said on Sunday that government forces had conducted 13 ground offensives and 12 air strikes in nine provinces, adding that 51 "terrorists" had been killed, 13 wounded and six arrested. Afghan security forces’ checkpoints in Kunduz were attacked on Saturday night, Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said in a statement, adding that 10 members of the security forces were killed and three wounded. Taliban fighters also captured a large weapons cache, he said.
Negotiations between the two sides began last year in Doha but have been interrupted at least twice after Taliban attacks on US military personnel in September and December.
