Kabul/UNI/Xinhua: Afghan forces regained control of Kuran-wa-Muntaj district in the northern Badakhshan province on Tuesday after days of fierce fighting, forcing the Taliban militants to retreat, an army officer in the province Abdul Razaq said.

Five militants have been injured and cleanup operations are underway in the district and its vicinity, the official added.

It was the second district that has been recaptured by the government forces in Badakhshan province over the past week.

Earlier government forces recaptured Yaftal-e-Payan district, according to local officials.

The official said the security forces would continue to evict the militants from all the districts held by the Taliban group.
