Heavy Battles Ongoing In Fifteen Provinces: MoD: 

The MoD said that twenty planned operations are underway in fifteen provinces and commando forces are involved in eighteen special operations in the country. The ministry also said that Taliban insurgents are well equipped in their fight against security forces. "Such problems have been created in the districts where we don't have army troops and police troops are there, the enemy seized the opportunity and at night the enemy comes and seizes the center of the district for one or two hours or even one day," said Dawlat Waziri, the MoD's spokesman. Military analysts believe that the collapse of districts and areas to the Taliban are because security forces are demoralized and exhausted.
