A province governor said that Afghan security forces recaptured on Monday a remote southern district which had been overrun by Taliban militants a day earlier.
"This morning our national security forces -- police, army and intelligence -- mobilized and took back the control of the district," he said in Ghazni, the provincial capital.
"Our security forces are stationed in the district. They are in control now," he said, declining to give further details.
Taliban fighters stormed Khogyani district in the troubled province of Ghazni late Sunday, seizing the local administration, provincial governor Musa Khan Akbarzada told reporters.
Akbarzada added Afghan officials were investigating possible casualties among the local administrators and a small police contingent based in the district.
