The Taliban is on the offensive once more. After a swift assault of the villages of Arghandab District, they have now setup bases in and around the area. They started by destroying bridges and restricting access of tanks and other army vehicles into the region. Then they planted mines to further prevent land assault. Arghandab is in the southern part of Afghanistan, found in the Kandahar Province. The Arghandab region is found just 10 miles to the northwest of Kandahar City – the second largest city in the whole country.
