Afghanistan’s NRF Forces Kill 17 Taliban Soldiers In Panjshir Valley; New Video Emerges
In the latest escalation in Afghanistan, over nine month after the Taliban reconquered the nation, a fresh video has emerged showing the members of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan (NRF) Attacking the Extremists in one of the Arezo Valleys Between Shotul and Rokhah, Panjshir . According to the report, Pangkalan Tawakh NRF troops have claimed responsibility for killing at least 17 people from the Taliban and left at least nine others injured. The Taliban, however, has not made comments related to the attack.
NRF is a group of Afghan rebels led by the son of the late Anti-Taliban Commander Ahmad Shah Massoud. Only last week, the group claimed to have won at least three northern districts of the Taliban after the announcement of a large military attack. The group led by Massoud even said that their aggression in the Pnajshir Valley was the first armed attack on the Taliban forces because the extremists rose to power in the country hit by war.
It must be noted here that the last NRF forces lasted against the takeover of the Taliban in Afghanistan in August last year and the group was a former Afghan troops and government officials. The NRF has retreated to the valley which fell in September to the hands of the Taliban, a few weeks after the US troops surrendered.
NRF killed 17 Taliban members, only a few days after a spokesman for the resistance forces, Sebghatullah Ahmadi, claimed that 22 extremists were killed in a fight with the front in a statement. However, local Taliban leaders in Panjshir, Afghanistan, refused the report, accused that only three were injured. However, according to the NRF spokesman, 6 Taliban fighters were even detained and 7 Taliban tanks were completely destroyed.
Hostility has grown in the Dara District, but small -scale damage has occurred in the Taliban forces, including the destruction of three vehicles and injuries to three members,” Abu Bakar Siddiqui, a spokesman for the Taliban Governor in Panjshir Province, which was claimed in a briefing on May 9.
