| [Tolo News] At least 12 Taliban gunnies were killed in festivities with security forces in northern Takhar province on Monday, local officials said. In addition, 35 others were maimed. The clash took place in Durqad district of the province on Monday afternoon after dozens of gunnies attacked the district and started clashing with security forces, a front man for the provincial police chief, Sherjan Durani said. "A soldier was also killed in the fighting," Durani said, adding that the gunnies were eventually driven back. Security forces are currently in festivities with gunnies in more than ten provinces in the country. This comes after the Taliban announced the launch of their summer offensive last week. |
