The Russian Embassy in Afghanistan reported that heavy clashes took place not far from its building that is located in the north of the same 7th district, in the Ayub Khan Mena area.
According to the footage shared by the Russian sources, the shots were heard in the area in the morning of October 4. Thus, it can be concluded that the fire exchange resumed.
According to the Russian sources, five terrorists were killed.
The Taliban’s counter-terrorist operations are likely a response to the recent deadly explosion at one of the gates of Eid Gha Mosque in the Afghanistan’s capital.
Today, the terrorist groups, which have increased their activity all around the country, including the capital, are a major threat for the Taliban. The new Afghan authorities have to fight them, as the terrorists may compete them for power in various regions.
