KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (CNN) -- NATO-led security forces have launched a major offensive against the Taliban and drug traffickers in southern Afghanistan, the military alliance's regional commander said in a statement on Tuesday.
The multi-national effort in the volatile northern region of Helmand province, codenamed "Operation Achilles," involves a 4,500-strong NATO contingent and nearly 1,000 Afghan troops.
NATO said one soldier had been killed in combat on Tuesday but gave no further details.
"This operation is targeting Taliban extremists, narco-traffickers and foreigner terrorists who have abused you, the Afghan people," Maj. Gen. Toon Van Loon, NATO's southern regional commander, said in a statement.
"Though Operation Achilles will initially focus on improving security conditions, its overarching purpose is to assist the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan improve its ability to begin reconstruction and economic development in the area."
More than 45,000 U.S. and NATO troops are battling a resurgent Taliban, Afghanistan's former rulers, and its allies in the al Qaeda terrorist network across a broad area of the south of the country, more than five years after al Qaeda's Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington.
