More than 1,800 US troops have been killed since the Afghan war began in October 2001.
The Times reported that the latest deployment included at least one SAS unit of around 30 soldiers who were backing American special forces and the Afghan National Army as they try to retake Sangin, in Helmand province, from the Taliban. It was one of the deadliest attacks on foreign forces in Afghanistan this year.
“We’re deeply saddened by this loss”, said Brig.
A US official confirmed that six American troops were killed and two wounded. According to Afghan police officials, she was killed by a mullah who was later arrested.
The Afghanistan government has suffered a major blow after a Taliban offensive took control of much of Sangin, the Helmand town that became symbolic for British forces, accounting for a third of their casualties reports The Guardian.
The Taliban stormed the police headquarters, the administrative headquarters, the intelligence agency office and other offices with Afghan officials saying that their forces, including the air force, were battling to regain control.
Mohammad Dawood, the district police commander, previously told the BBC the Taliban had totally cut the facility away in the remaining state, and weapons and food supplies were running low. “The Afghan security forces and all of us face an unrelenting foe in the Taliban”.
He said he had no other options left to deliver his message and explain the real situation in Helmand to the President but to turn to Facebook.
Separately, reports say the Taliban are also close to overrunning the neighbouring district of Gereshk.
Helmand is an important Taliban base as it produces most of the world’s opium, a crop that helps fund the insurgency. The U.K. has 450 troops in Afghanistan as part of NATO’s training mission.
Over the recent months, it has seen fierce fighting between the militants and Afghan forces. Another 15 were critically wounded, he said.
The situation in Helmand carries sharp echoes of the situation that led to the Taliban’s biggest success in the 14-year war, their brief capture of the northern city of Kunduz in September.
Insurgents also recently overran Babaji, a suburb of Lashkar Gah, fuelling concern that the provincial capital could fall to the insurgents. They rarely hold territory for more than a few hours or days, but the impact on the morale of Afghan forces is substantial. About 100 British troops were killed there, imbuing the region with a special significance for the British military.
Now, people are starting to believe the Taliban are indeed stronger than the government.
