KabulTaliban claim control of Afghanistan’s Panchsheer province Taliban spokesman Sabihullah Mujahid made the announcement. But the head of the defense force, Ahmad Masood, has not yet responded to the Taliban’s claim. Panchsheer was the only remaining area under the control of the Defense Forces.
Panchsheer province was reportedly captured with the support of the Pakistani military. Pictures of Taliban militants standing in front of the provincial governor’s compound gate have been circulating on social media since the province took over. The Taliban faced strong resistance from Panchsheer.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the capture of Panchsheer province the previous day by firing. Many people, including children, were shot dead by the Taliban during the celebrations. Footage of this was also shared on social media. However, the defense forces said at the time that the report was the work of the Pakistani media. But according to the latest report, the Taliban have taken full control of Panchsheer.
