Taliban Fighters Conduct Search Operations in North of Kabul City

Sources in Kabul told Afghanistan International that the Taliban has resumed house-to-house search operations in the northern areas of the capital.

According to these sources, the Taliban started the search operation of residential buildings in the 315 area of Khair Khana on Tuesday morning.

In the past two years, the Taliban has repeatedly conducted search operations of residential buildings in Kabul.

Sources said that male Taliban fighters searched the houses on Tuesday morning without the presence of female agents of the group.

A source in Kabul said that the Taliban raided their house with their military shoes, and an all-male team and they were looking for weapons and former members of the government’s security forces.

The 315 Khair Khana area is located in district 11 of Kabul city. The inhabitants of this area are mainly members of the Tajik ethnicity.

Afghans living in the capital city have repeatedly criticised the search operations conducted by the Taliban.

However, Taliban officials have not yet explained the reason behind the door-to-door search of residential buildings in Khair Khana area of Kabul.
