A massive Taliban siege of a government compound and army base in western Badghis province has killed at least 12 more troops in its second day
Afghan officials say a massive Taliban siege of a government compound and army base in western Badghis province, now in its second day, has killed at least 12 more troops.
Mohammad Nasir Nazari, a provincial council member, says that according to soldiers inside the base, roughly 2,000 Taliban fighters are involved in the attack. Abdul Waris Sherzad, a district chief, says the locals are disappointed that NATO forces and the Afghan government have not helped. Fighting between militant groups has also intensified. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said in a statement on Thursday that Daesh attacks on Taliban positions on March 23 resulted in 21,000 people being displaced in Kunar and Nangarhar provinces.
