According to the sources, serious disagreements between the Taliban’s head and deputy of intelligence in the province have arisen and both sides have taken actions against each other.
This incident comes after an explosion occurred at 11am on Wednesday near the gate of Balkh in Mazar-i-Sharif city, sources told Afghanistan International.
Taliban confirmed the explosion and announced that six people had been injured in this incident.
