In March, hundreds of Afghan forces were killed or wounded in heavy clashes in southern, western and northern Afghanistan, according to unofficial reports. US air strikes also accidentally killed Afghan soldiers, in a case of friendly fire. We expect a lot of fighting and obviously casualties,” said a senior Afghan security source. This year, Afghan forces beat the Taliban to naming their offensive, launching a spring operation dubbed “Khaled”, an Arabic word for “endless”, said the Afghan security source. Some 100 members of Afghan forces were killed in two attacks in Badghis and Helmand.
