KUNDUZ, Afghanistan: Afghan forces were conducting clearing operations in Kunduz early on Tuesday, warning that Taliban militants were hiding in civilian homes after an hours-long assault on the city repelled with the help of Nato air support.
Officials said some fighting was still going on in the outskirts of the strategic **rthern city but that its centre had been cleared of insurgents, with one source putting the number of militants killed in the “hundreds”.
The assault launched early on Monday came just over a year after militants briefly seized the provincial capital, and as President Ashraf Ghani flew to Brussels to meet world leaders for a crucial foreign aid conference.
“With the help of special forces we launched an operation last night and cleared the centre of the city,” Mohammed Qasim Jangalbagh, police chief in Kunduz, told AFP, adding that “hundreds of Taliban fighters” were killed. It was **t immediately possible to confirm the toll.
