Senior Taliban spokesperson, Zabihullah Mujahid, claimed in a statement on Twitter that the group’s security forces had conducted an operation on an ISKP hideout in the Khair Khana neigbourhood of Kabul, killing two and capturing one alive as well as seizing weapons and ammunitions.
ISKP members, the Taliban spokesperson said, had “destructive plans”.
