Operations are reported in the following provinces: Nuristan, Kandahar, Bamyan. Afghan National Security and International Security Assistance Forces conducted a three-day clearing operation in the Kunar River Valley, Barg-e Matal district, Nuristan province, Sunday. In the northernmost tip of Nuristan province, just seven miles (12 kilometers) from the border of Pakistan, Barg-e Matal has historically been a staging area for the large influx of insurgents traveling into the province. The combined effort was to disrupt the insurgent network and remove weapons in the area. As the partnered-force set down in three locations along the valley floor, it received immediate sniper, small-arms and mortar fire from approximately 20 insurgents to the south, east and west. Before dawn on Monday, the northernmost teams secured the district center without resistance. To the south of the district center, two separate commando assault elements cleared Bachancha and Badmuk villages, locating a small cache. In Awlagal village, the operation's southernmost location, the combined force took heavy fire from insurgents located along the ridgelines to the southeast and southwest. With support from air weapons teams, more than 15 enemy fighters were killed and multiple weapon caches were discovered. On the third day of the operation, the remaining villages within the valley were cleared and key-leader engagements were conducted with village elders. Throughout the day, air weapons teams engaged a sniper position and insurgent fighting position within a cave, killing an unknown number of insurgents. Fifty rocket-propelled grenades with 12 boosters, 200 pounds (91 kilograms) of ammonium nitrate, three AK-47 rifles, seven bolt-action rifles, more than 5,000 rounds of ammunition, one anti-personnel and one anti-tank mine, 10 mortar fuses and fake commando uniforms were located during the operation and were destroyed on site. Initial reports indicate no civilians were injured and no property damage was reported.
