An internal attack on Afghan security forces in southern Afghanistan killed 24 security personnel. In Friday night’s attack, six policemen opened fire on the sleeping policemen at the combined police and military headquarters near Qalat, said Governor Rahmatullah Yarmal, a spokesman for Zabul Province. The province where the attack took place has long been considered a Taliban stronghold. About 6pm, 6 policemen opened fire on sleeping officers, killing 24 personnel, he said. News quoted Ata Jan Haq Bayan, head of Zabul Provincial Council, saying that 20 attackers were killed and four Afghan security personnel were missing in the attack of the 8 invaders. Ata Jan Haq Bayan said the attackers had links to the Taliban.
According to AFP, the attackers fled with two weapons and ammunition in two army vehicles and a truck. Councilor Asadullah Kakar said that eight people, sleeping with the help of Taliban fighters, opened fire on the soldiers and killed them and escaped with their weapons and ammunition. The attack came at a time when Afghan Defense Minister Asadullah Kalid (Asadullah Kalid) said that despite the signing of a peace deal between the United States and the Taliban, a significant defensive operation was taken in the wake of the Taliban’s continued attacks. He said the strategy would help the Afghan security forces in timely action and defense.
Remember that the agreement between the United States and the Taliban agreed to release US troops from Afghanistan and release prisoners. But due to the Afghan government, the release of prisoners is delayed. The Taliban said after the deal that they would not attack international forces, but would continue the attacks on Afghan security forces. Following the Taliban announcement, U.S and Afghan officials called for an end to the attacks and violent incidents.
