The country’s interior ministry, meanwhile, said the Afghani police had arrested Ghazni Governor Mohammad Dawood Laghmani and his representatives in Midan Wardak Province, South Kabul, after they escaped from provincial capital.
In southern Afghanistan, the rebels, who surrounded Kandahar for weeks, claimed they had taken control of prison and released more than 1,000 inmates.
While the Afghan government has not confirmed the takeover of the prison, militant groups have shared videos that show the detainees running outside the prison.
In Lashkar Gah, the capital of Helmand Province in the south, militants have taken over the regional police headquarters.
According to government sources, several police officers surrendered while others resigned to the nearest governor’s office which was still controlled by Afghan forces.
