Taliban attacks leave 50 dead, 200 injured in two Afghan provinces
The Taliban militants
have launched coordinated Attacks on police forces in two neighboring
provinces in southern Afghanistan, leaving at least 50 people dead and
more than 200 others injured.
The Interior Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday that the
militants with explosives-laden vehicles had initially attacked a police
training center in Gardez, the capital of Paktia Province in southeast
Afghanistan, claiming at least 32 lives and wounding more than 200
others.
“At first a suicide bomber detonated a car filled with explosives
near the training center, making way for a number of attackers to start
their assault,” the statement said.
Hospital officials said “women, students and police” were among the victims.

A battle is underway between the attackers, armed with guns and
vests, and security forces inside the center located near the Paktia
police headquarters, the ministry added.
“At the moment the area is sealed by the Crisis Response Unit and
efforts are ongoing to eliminate the terrorists,” the statement noted.
Separately in the southern Ghazni Province, the militants attacked a
police station and a checkpoint in the center of Andar District, leaving
15 policemen dead and 12 others injured, according to provincial
authorities.

Elsewhere in western Afghanistan, Farah Province’s police chief Abdul
Maruf Fulad said the Taliban had attacked a government compound in
Shibkho district and killed at least three security forces.
The Taliban have claimed responsibility for all the assaults.
The militants have warned that there will be no let-up in their attacks until foreign forces fully withdraw from Afghanistan.
Afghanistan is still suffering from insecurity and violence years
after the United States and its allies invaded the country as part of
Washington’s so-called war on terror. The invasion removed the Taliban
from power, but militancy continues to this day.
