A strategically important area of the defiant Panjshir province, Khenj, and the Anaba district of Afghanistan have fallen to the Taliban, the insurgent group’s spokesman Bilal Karimi said Saturday.
“The latest news says that Khenj, the most strategic area of Panjshir, and the Anaba area near the provincial capital have also been completely seized, leaving only the main building of the Abshar district,” Karimi said.
Now, the Taliban have taken control of four districts of the province, he said, adding the insurgents are heading towards the provincial center.
As the United States has withdrawn its troops from the country after 20 years, insurgent group Taliban invaded Afghanistan almost completely on Aug 15 by storming into the capital city of Kabul.
Following the invasion, men, women rushed to the Kabul Airport in a desperate attempt to flee the country and take refuge in other parts of the country.
