Afghan forces following days of fierce fighting and killing at least seven Taliban militants reopened the road linking Baghlan to Kunduz city on Tuesday and sent reinforcement there to bolster government positions.

“At last the security forces were able to evict Taliban militants from Jar-e-Khushk area and reopened the road linking Baghlan to Kunduz city,” Baghlan provincial police chief, Abdul Jabbar Purduli told reporters here.

At least seven Taliban militants have been killed and several others injured during the operations to reopen the road, he added.

Taliban militants, after capturing Kunduz provincial capital the Kunduz city on September 29, blocked Baghlan-Kunduz road in Jar-e- Khushk area and didn’t allow Afghan reinforcement caravans to reach Kunduz city.

“The road linking Baghlan to Kunduz city was reopened today and the road is opened before both military convoys and civilian vehicles,” Purduli said.

Taliban militants have yet to make comment.

Afghan forces, according to police have also recaptured major parts of Kunduz city since launching an counter-offensive on Thursday.
