According to the bulletin, Taliban fighters have fled the area with heavy casualties, but security forces are continuing operations to clear the area completely.
The Ministry of Defense announced yesterday that new commando forces have been sent to retake the Dasht-e-Archi district.
The district was reported fallen into the hands of Taliban militants a few days ago, in a tactical retreat, security forces had withdrawn from the area.
37 Taliban insurgents have been reported killed in the Dasht-e-Archi district when they attacked security checkpoints, and fifteen other Taliban fighters were also wounded in the airstrikes.
