Kabul, Afghanistan: Twenty Taliban terrorists were killed on Saturday with a fight between Afghan defense forces and terror groups in Badakhshan Province.
“As many as 20 Taliban rebels and three soldiers have been killed in Badakhshan for the past 24 hours,” a military officer in Captain Abdul Razaq said Saturday.
Meanwhile, several local residents in anonymous conditions said that the Taliban fighters had arrested Tagab headquarters, Kishim, Taskan and the Shahr-e-Buzarg district in Badakhshan for the past 24 hours, Xinhua reported.
Afghanistan witnessed a surge in violence because the Taliban had intensified his attack on civilians and defense forces and security Afghanistan.
This came when foreign troops withdrew from a war-hit country.
However, the spokesman for the Badakhshan Provincial Government, Nik Mohammad Nazari in talks with Xinhua has denied the fall of the district to the Taliban terrorists, by saying that the battle has continued.
When the Taliban has taken control of several districts throughout the country, the assessment of the US intelligence has suggested the state civilian government can fall in terror groups within a few months from attractive US forces.
