KABUL, July 13-RIA Novosti. The Ministry of Defense of Afghanistan announced the destruction of more than 250 Taliban militants* over the past day.
In turn, the Taliban said that overnight they captured a number of districts in the provinces of Bamyan, Daikundi and Ghor in the central part of Afghanistan and in the province of Laghman in the east of the country.
In Afghanistan, there is a confrontation between government forces and the Taliban militants*, who have seized significant territories in rural areas and launched an offensive on major cities. Instability in Afghanistan is growing against the backdrop of the US administration's promises to complete the withdrawal of troops from Afghan soil by September 11. In 2020, Washington and representatives of the Taliban* signed the first peace agreement in Doha in more than 18 years of war. It provides for the withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan in 14 months and the beginning of an inter-Afghan dialogue after the exchange of prisoners.
