BRITISH AND AFGHAN FORCES LAUNCH OPERATION TO PUSH INSURGENTS OUT OF HELMAND STRONGHOLD

Hundreds of Afghan soldiers, supported by British and coalition forces have taken part in a major operation in Central Helmand to clear out insurgents from one of their last remaining strongholds.

Operation OMID HAFT has been planned and executed by the Afghan National Army (ANA) partnered by International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) troops. For several days, Afghan Warriors have battled alongside Royal Marines and soldiers in harsh and hostile terrain where the enemy have intimidated and threatened the Afghan population for many years. During the operation, two Royal Marines sadly lost their lives but despite their deaths, the fight to defeat the insurgent and help secure a stable future for the people of Afghanistan has continued.
