The source said the soldiers are trapped in three army bases in Pul-e-Chatoi area in Dehrauddistrict, in Shaheed Hassas area in Charchino district and in Mehr Abad area in Trinkot – Uruzgan’s capital city.
The areas are five kilometers from the office of the provincial governor, the source added.
However, the Ministry of Defense deputy spokesman Mohammad Radmanish said that a number of supply routes have been reopened following a series of military operations and convoys are now using the roads.
