Kabul: Afghanistan security forces recently killed the Taliban shadow governor for Nimruz province as Afghanistan Air Force targeted a gathering of the terrorists in Zaranj city recently, officials said on Saturday.

He has been identified as Abdul Khaliq.

The Afghanistan Ministry of Defence tweeted: " Abdul Khaliq #Taliban terrorists shadow #governor for #Nimruz province was killed along with 14 others #terrorists after #AAF targeted their gathering in #Zaranj city, #Nimitz provincial center, last night. "

Violence has escalated in Afghanistan ever since foreign forces started leaving the country.

The Taliban group started capturing several regions in the war-torn nation since then.
