WASHINGTON — A senior military official has confirmed that NATO forces in June will launch a major offensive in the Afghanistan city of Kandahar.
The official said the goal is to rid the southern city of Taliban forces before the Muslim holy month of Ramadan begins in August. The official was not authorized to speak publicly on the operation and discussed the operation on condition of anonymity.
Kandahar is considered the spiritual heartland of the Taliban.
