snuffies in southern Zabul province of Afghanistan.

Provincial governor Bismillah Afghanmal said Sunday that the coppers suffered the casualties during the festivities late on Saturday night.

Afghanmal further added that the festivities between the coppers and the Taliban snuffies erupted after scores of bully boyz launched coordinated attacks on security posts in Shahjoi district.

He said several Afghan Local Police (ALP) personnel are also among those killed during the festivities.

According to the provincial governor, the Taliban snuffies were busy plotting attacks to take control of Qalat city and finally launched attacks on security posts on Saturday night.

In the meantime, another local official said the Taliban snuffies have managed to take control of Bolan Rubab area in Shahjoi.

The official further added that additional forces have been deployed to the area from the picturesque provincial capital of Qalat city to push back the Taliban holy warriors.

Zabul is among the volatile provinces in south of Afghanistan where the Taliban snuffies are actively operating in its various districts and often carry out insurgency activities.
