    KABUL, Afghanistan - While progress is taking place in southern Afghanistan following Operation Moshtarak, insurgent attacks have continued to harm civilians and impact their freedom of movement in Kandahar and Helmand.

    "Monday's attacks in Kandahar killed and injured innocent civilians, Afghan national police and ISAF personnel. And these attacks came a day after an IED strike on Sunday that killed a family of eleven in Helmand. These indiscriminate attacks show the devastating impact of the insurgents' actions on innocent civilians," said U.S. Navy Capt. Jane Campbell, ISAF Joint Command spokesperson.

    Afghan forces with limited support from ISAF troops responded to each of these incidents, helped secure the sites and provided medical assistance to the injured. ISAF and Afghan forces have also begun repairs to the bridge damaged in Monday's IED attack near Kandahar airfield.
