AFF Claims Responsibility For Attack On Taliban Convoy In Takhar

The Afghanistan Freedom Front (AFF) has claimed responsibility for an attack on a Taliban convoy in Takhar province on Saturday evening, resulting in the deaths of three Taliban members and injuries to two others.

In a statement, the AFF stated that its forces targeted a convoy of Taliban intelligence vehicles on the outskirts of Taloqan city.

Local sources told Afghanistan International that an explosion was heard near the Taliban’s Directorate of Agriculture in Taloqan. Reports suggest that a Taliban Ranger vehicle was struck in the attack.

On Sunday, the AFF issued a statement asserting that Taliban forces had been ambushed while returning from the villages of Ganj Ali Beig, Bolak Urta Boz, and Post Khor, where they had allegedly harassed local residents.

As is customary, the Taliban has not yet commented on the attack in Takhar.

The AFF also shared a video of the attack on social media platform X, further reinforcing its claim of responsibility.
