Nematullah Khan Roshan, deputy district chief for the Charcheno district in Uruzgan, said Wednesday that Taliban insurgents attacked three separate police checkpoints Monday night.
Roshan added that pitched battles are still ongoing in the area and that government reinforcements have been deployed.
The current confrontation is so intense, Roshan said, that the corpses of both police officers and insurgents killed in the battle have been laying in open ground with no way to safely recover the bodies.
