A military offensive against Islamic State in the Nangarhar's Achin district continued Friday for a fourth day, clearing areas once under IS control.

The militants had captured this unpaved and dangerous road, but now local residents Cayman to see governments forces take it back.

The children's school you see over there is Islamic State is to plant evil avtivities there and carry them out.

They fled from here and left behind everything.

Government forces say they are targeting IS militants who are shooting at them. This time they say they killed dozens of fighters and wounded many more.

People who live nearby are demanding that the government protect areas after they have cleared them.

When the government comes, they launch offensive and then go back. Checkposts should be created or basis should be established.

Now we want them to create checkpoints, so that people could come back to their homes and children can go to school.

Afghan security forces say they will not stop their operations in the area until the IS group is eliminated.
