Militants of the Taliban-banned terrorist
organization in Russia attacked the city of Kunduz in northern Afghanistan.
Government forces say they managed to repel the attack. However, this
information is not true, there are street fights in the city.
The attack on Kunduz began tonight. Hundreds of
militants entered the city under cover of night darkness and attacked the
objects of the security forces. Fighting broke out in the area of several
police stations, both sides suffered casualties by the wounded.
By morning, the Taliban managed to capture several
police stations. Government forces announced the repulsion of the attack by
militants and the destruction of 15 terrorists. However, this information is
not true. On the contrary, the Taliban captured several military and police
officers. They managed to take control of the local hospital. Islamist trophies
were a large number of weapons and several cars.
At the moment, fighting in the city continues.
Armoured vehicles are displayed on the streets. Fighting planes and helicopters
fly over the city. The Taliban managed to take control of the local hospital,
but the security forces managed to keep the local administration building. In
general, the city centre is under the control of government forces. In Kunduz, mobile
communications stopped working.
30 armour vehicles were destroyed by Taliban
Most likely, after the transfer of reinforcements to
the Kunduz region, the Taliban simply left the city, as it was already more
than once during raids on this provincial center. Probably now the Taliban has
launched another raid to capture trophies and prisoners, after which it plans
to take its militants to areas under its control in rural areas. The Taliban
have no strength for a long confrontation with a regular army equipped with
artillery and aviation and prefer tactics of guerrilla warfare.
Recall that since 2001, an operation led by the
United States-led international coalition against militants of the
Taliban-banned terrorist organization in Russia has been ongoing in
Afghanistan. At the moment, the bulk of the NATO contingent has left the
country. Taliban wage guerrilla warfare throughout Afghanistan. According to
some reports, they actually control up to 70 percent of the country's
territory.
