He said that over the past week, Taleban fighters have launched coordinated attacks in different parts of Helmand province, which have intensified in recent days.
Three local officials in Helmand province said the helicopters were deploying Afghan commandos to repel a Taleban attack in Nawa district, and were evacuating wounded soldiers on their return flight. The Afghan officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to the media about military activities.
On Monday, American forces said they had carried out several airstrikes in Helmand province in support of Afghan security forces under attack by the Taleban.
Col. Sonny Leggett, a spokesperson for the US military in Afghanistan, said Monday that the recent Taliban attacks in Helmand were "not consistent" with a US-Taleban deal signed in February and undermine ongoing intra-Afghan peace talks. He said the airstrikes do not violate the February deal.
Thousands of Afghan civilians have fled Nawa and Nad Ali districts because of the fighting, said Atiqullah, a local community leader from Nawa district, who like many Afghans goes by just one name.
"Nothing is left to us, we lost everything, including our home, property and livestock," he said. He and his family fled to stay with relatives in the city of Lashkar Gah, Helmand's provincial capital.
"The Taliban have launched attacks against security checkpoints, and they control most parts of Nawa district," he added.
Separately, three civilians were killed and 14 wounded in the eastern province of Laghman by a magnetic explosive device attached to a police vehicle, said Shafiullah Afghanyar, a provincial police spokesman.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
