US forces hit Taliban with air strikes in Helmand | THE DAILY STAR

American forces conducted over the past couple days several airstrikes in support of Afghan security force under attack by Taliban in the southern Helmand province, the spokesman for the US military in Afghanistan said Monday.

Col. Sonny Leggett confirmed on his twitter account that the strikes over the past two days in Helmand did not violate the US-Taliban agreement signed in February.

"The Taliban need to immediately stop their offensive actions in Helmand Province and reduce their violence around the country. It is not consistent with the US-Taliban agreement and undermines the ongoing Afghan Peace Talks," Leggett's tweet said, quoting Gen. Scott Miller, the Commander of the US Forces in Afghanistan.
