967 Taliban fighters killed in 4 days: Afghanistan security forces official

| @indiablooms | Jul 20, 2021, at 02:57 am

The Afghan security and defense forces spokesman said  967 Taliban fighters have been killed and over 500 more have been wounded during the operations conducted in the country for the past four days.

Gen. Ajmal Shinwari told Tolo News that clashes are underway in over 20 provinces and nine cities face a high level of threat.

Afghanistan is witnessing violent days ever since the foreign troops started leaving the nation.

The Taliban forces have started taking control of several regions in the war-ravaged country.

Afghan forces re-took control of Sorkh-e-Parsa district in Parwan and Mailstan district in Ghazni in the last 12 hours, according to the Interior Ministry. But the center of Chakhansur district in Nimroz once again fell to the Taliban, sources told Tolo News.

“There is a possibility to improve the situation. We assure you--I say as a military general--that all Afghanistan territories will be defended with courage,” he said.

Abdul Karim, a Taluqan resident, told Tolo News, "The situation is worsening every day. Shops have remained closed. Mortars and Taliban firing have hit people’s homes."
