KABUL, AFGHANISTAN – The “Afghanistan Freedom Front” says that in an attack by its forces in Kabul, two Taliban members were killed and two others were wounded.
The front said in a statement that the attack took place around 8:00 p.m. last night (Saturday, April 11) in the Alokhil area of the 16th district of Kabul city.
The “Afghanistan Freedom Front” added that in this attack, a Ranger vehicle carrying Taliban forces was targeted.
It further stated that the vehicle was destroyed as a result of the attack carried out by its forces.
The “Afghanistan Freedom Front” did not provide information about possible casualties among its own forces in this attack.
The front has previously also reported multiple attacks against the Taliban in Kabul, although Taliban security officials and institutions have often neither confirmed nor denied such incidents.
In a separate development, the Taliban Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock has confirmed that Niaz Mohammad Wahaj, the group’s head of agriculture in Nimroz province, has died in a traffic accident.
The ministry confirmed the news in a statement published today (Sunday, April 12).
Media outlets under Taliban control reported that he died yesterday in a traffic accident in the Dilaram district of Nimroz province.
Niaz Mohammad Wahaj had previously served in the Taliban administration as head of the office of the First Deputy of the Ministry of Interior, head of the office of the governor of Balkh, and head of agriculture of Helmand province.
In a related incident, a report published two months ago stated that the Afghanistan Freedom Front (AFF) had claimed responsibility for another attack in northern Afghanistan, in which it said two Taliban members were killed and one was wounded.
According to that statement, the attack had targeted a Taliban military vehicle around 6:00 p.m. on February 15 on the “Chaharparah” road in Police District 1 of Kunduz city. The AFF did not provide additional details about the incident or its own casualties, while local Taliban officials in Kunduz had not commented on the claim at the time.
These incidents highlight the continuing volatility and insecurity in Afghanistan, where both armed conflict and non-conflict-related incidents such as traffic accidents continue to claim the lives of officials, reflecting the broader challenges facing governance, security, and public safety in the country.
