Mohammad Hanif Rezaee, a front man for the 209th Shaheen Corps, told Khaama press Monday, that at around 5 a.m. in the morning, Taliban affiliated members killed four civilians in an attempt to loot a flock of sheep in the Chaharkant district of Balkh province.

He added that the Taliban group tried to steal a flock of 400 to 450 sheep when festivities between the locals and group occurred.

According to him, during the resistance four non-combatants were killed and five others were maimed in the clash, and two other civilians hit Taliban land mines instantly killing them.

Taliban fighters were unable to steal the sheep because locals prevented them from doing so, Rezaee added.

Rezaei noted the Taliban members fled the area following the skirmish with the locals.

The northern province of Balkh is one of the relatively safest provinces in the country, but for the past two years, the Taliban have been active in parts of the region.
