The Afghanistan Freedom Front (AFF), led by Yasin Zia, and the National Resistance Front (NRF), led by Ahmad Massoud, have reported carrying out separate attacks against Taliban forces in Kunduz province.
In a statement issued on Saturday, 13 December, the AFF said its fighters killed two Taliban members and wounded three others in an attack on Friday evening in Kunduz. The group claimed the dead included a Taliban commander identified as Qari Ubaid.
The NRF said its forces carried out an attack on Thursday evening, 11 December, near a Taliban checkpoint in the Sixth Police District of Kunduz city, killing two Taliban members and wounding another.
The Taliban have not commented on the claims made by either group.
The United Nations has said that over the past three months, armed opposition fronts have not posed a significant challenge to Taliban rule, noting that six such groups claimed responsibility for 41 attacks during the period.
