| 2018-11-09 |
| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Talibs and Afghan army soldiers suffered heavy casualties during a clash in Northeastern Takhar province of Afghanistan. According to the local security officials, the incident took place late on Wednesday night in the vicinity of Khwajah Ghar district, between Takhar and Kunduz provinces. The officials further added that a group of Talibs launched a coordinated attack on an army base, leaving at least twelve soldiers and eight others maimed. The provincial police chief Gen. Abdul Rashid Bashir confirmed the incident and casualties toll of the Afghan soldiers. However, a hangover is the wrath of grapes... another security source says at least fourteen army soldiers bit the dust in the attack and at least seven more sustained injuries. In the meantime, Gen. Bashir said at least twenty Talibs were also killed or maimed during the clash with the armed forces. Takhar has been among the relatively calm provinces in Northeastern parts of the country but the security situation in its certain districts has tanked during the recent years. |
