The Afghan National Independence Front announced that in the early hours of Sunday, August 9, it targeted a Taliban security checkpoint with rockets in the Shashpar area of Khas Uruzgan district.<\/p>\n
The Front claimed that the attack resulted in the deaths of “more than five Taliban members” and left several others wounded. According to the group, their forces withdrew from the area after carrying out the operation without incurring any casualties.<\/p>\n
This incident comes amid recent reports of increased attacks by armed opponents of the Taliban administration across various provinces. Previously, the Afghan National Independence Front also claimed that on the evening of Saturday, August 8, it targeted and killed the intelligence deputy of Kabul airport along with two of his guards on the Kabul Meteorology road.<\/p>\n
Simultaneously, the Green Trend, led by Amrullah Saleh, announced that on the evening of Friday, August 7, it targeted Taliban fuel tankers with rockets and Kalashnikovs in the Salang district. The group stated that the purpose of this operation was to disrupt the transportation routes of the Taliban.<\/p>\n
Despite the rise in such claims, severe media restrictions and the lack of free access to information in Afghanistan have made independent verification of these events difficult. Anti-Taliban groups emphasize that their attacks will continue and that Taliban forces remain their primary targets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
