sources from Yakhshi and Mir Bacha villages in the Khwat region of the district have confirmed to the Hasht-e Subh Daily that the Taliban have subjected the residents of these regions to harassment and abuse in the past three days.

It should be noted that prior to this, the Taliban had detained 17 residents of the Nawur district based on the orders of a nomadic (Kuchi) individual.
