'The resistance is still alive': Afghan Resistance claims to have captured three towns north of Kabul in fighting that 'killed or injured 60 Taliban fighters'
Afghan resistance has claimed to have captured three towns north of Kabul in fighting that 'killed or injured 60
Taliban fighters'.
Local forces are reported to have taken back the Pul-e-Hesar, Deh-e-Salah and Banu districts in the Baghlan province on Friday.
A
Twitter account under the name 'Panjshir Province' - the only area not controlled by the Taliban - earlier said the Pul-e-Hesar was captured while 'fighting was raging' in the other two districts.
Tajuden Soroush, a senior correspondent for
Iran International, said the Banu and Pol-e-Hesar areas had been taken back, according to an ex-Afghan government official. He later added that Deh-e-Salah had fallen to anti-Taliban forces.
The Panjshir Valley northeast of Kabul is Afghanistan's last remaining holdout, known for its natural mountainous defences.
It follows Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov confirming that SAS-trained Afghan commandos have joined an armed resistance to the Taliban in the Valley.
