The Taliban launched a multipronged attack on a district headquarters in Afghanistan's northern Balkh province, killing at least 11 policemen, officials said.
The Taliban launched a multipronged attack on a district headquarters in a remote district in northern Afghanistan early on Tuesday, killing at least 11 policemen and triggering a gun battle that was still underway hours later, officials said.
Farhad denied the claim, saying Afghan security forces were still in control of the district headquarters and that reinforcements were on their way to Shortepa. Taliban attacks have continued unabated even as Afghanistan held presidential elections on Saturday and the U.S.-Taliban talks over a peace deal collapsed last month.
