The operation took place in the 14th district of the homonymous capital of the province and among the deceased is a woman. Another of the deceased was a foreign national, as reported by the Taliban security command in the province.

In the operation, the Taliban forces have also seized several weapons belonging to the so-called Islamic State – Khorasan Province.

This is the third operation in six months that the Taliban has carried out against the jihadists in the city.

The organization has claimed responsibility for multiple attacks that have left dozens dead in the capital, Kabul, and other parts of the country.
