Two Members Dead In Herat, Confirms Taliban’s MoD
The Taliban Ministry of Defense confirmed that two of its men have been killed in an attack on personnel of al-Farouq Corps in Herat on Monday morning. However, local sources told Afghanistan International that multiple attacks targeting the group in Herat caused 18 casualties.
A local reporter from Herat said that the Taliban did not allow reporters to the scene of the attack.
A journalist, who did not want to be named for security reasons, said that despite the reporters' repeated efforts, they failed to get more information regarding these attacks. Sources allege that the Taliban has warned Herat hospitals not to provide information to journalists.
On Monday morning, local sources reported an explosion in Herat, which targeted a vehicle ferrying the Taliban's defense ministry personnel. Some sources have said that civilians were also among the injured.
