Afghan Media reports that Taliban have taken control of a
joint military base in northeastern Badakhshan province of Afghanistan and
approx 180 soldiers have surrendered to Taliban after a 5 days siege. Sources
say that Afghan National Army also surrendered their weapons and equipments to
Taliban.
The Afghan authorities had already warned Govt to take
immediate action otherwise many lives of soldiers will be lost. According to
Afghan National Media, 25+ Afghan soldiers have been killed in the battle. This
attack is part of the Taliban country wide operations under the name “Azm”.
Taliban have took several districts and key villages and check posts since the
start of operation Azm.
Last days, hundreds of Taliban fighters armed with heavy
and light weapons launched a coordinated attack on security check posts in
Yamgan district, forcing the Afghan troops to tactically step back in a bid to
prevent the civilian casualties.
