Nationwide Polio Vaccination Campaign To Commence In Afghanistan

The incident occurred at 1:23 pm in the Police District 8 of Kabul.

Taliban officials have yet to issue any comments regarding the attack.

A video clip released by the NRF captured the sound of gunfire; the group confirmed that the attack did not harm any civilians or their own forces.

He expressed that the jihad was not waged for Taliban commanders to appropriate lands and for fighters to commit acts of sexual violence against women.

The commander described certain members of the Taliban as "oppressors" and "sinners," accusing them of engaging in sexual assault and theft. He revealed that some offenders have been released after bribing their way out, undermining the group's integrity.

He also declared, "People have the right to take up arms and rise up against the Taliban." The audio highlights issues like forced migrations, noting that residents of Jowzjan and Balkh provinces have been compelled to flee to neighbouring countries due to the Taliban's oppressive actions.

Previous reports have surfaced of sexual assaults by Taliban fighters and land seizures, contributing to a public perception of widespread corruption within the Taliban administration.

Despite calls from the Taliban Ministry of Information and Culture for members to register and disclose their assets, no asset declaration forms have been publicly released by the Asset Registration and Verification Agency.

He highlighted that such a government must represent all ethnicities, religious groups, and political parties of Afghanistan.

Galuzin, who was on a visit to Uzbekistan on Friday, mentioned that Moscow continues to maintain working relations with the Taliban. He also criticised the United States' policies towards Afghanistan, particularly criticising the 2021 US withdrawal, which he described as abandoning the Afghan people.

While Russia does not officially recognise the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan, it has engaged diplomatically with the group and has even transferred control of the Afghan embassy in Moscow to the Taliban.

Additionally, the Russian Foreign Ministry has indicated that it is considering the removal of the Taliban from its list of terrorist organisations, signalling a potential shift in Russian policy towards Afghanistan.

On Saturday night, NRF forces initiated an attack in Kabul's 6th police security district, eliminating two Taliban operatives.

Further actions in Herat and Kabul led to the deaths of four more Taliban members, with an additional three wounded.

The NRF confirmed that these operations did not cause any civilian casualties or harm to their own personnel.

According to the NRF, the individuals targeted were actively harassing local populations.

The front stated that these two Taliban fighters were members of the Taliban border brigade.

In a statement, the NRF said that in this attack, no harm came to civilians or its own forces.

Taliban officials have not commented on this matter.
