Maulvi Nasrullah Fayazani, the Taliban’s deputy governor in Faryab province, was reportedly injured in an attack by the Panjshir Zero Unit in Maimana city.
According to the information provided, the attack took place in the Tendurak area of Maimana’s third district, targeting a Taliban military hospital. The operation was reportedly carried out on the occasion of 18 Saur, which marks the anniversary of the martyrdom of Afghanistan’s national hero.
Sources say Fayazani was among those targeted in the attack and sustained injuries. Further details about the nature of his injuries and the extent of the operation have not been provided.
The reported incident comes amid continued claims of attacks against Taliban personnel and installations by armed opposition groups in different parts of Afghanistan. The Panjshir Zero Unit has previously claimed responsibility for attacks targeting Taliban officials and security personnel.
The attack, if confirmed, could raise fresh concerns about security around Taliban officials and military facilities in northern Afghanistan. Maimana, the capital of Faryab province, remains an important administrative and security centre in the region.
There has been no further information provided regarding casualties among other Taliban personnel or whether the attackers suffered losses.
The details of the incident, including the identity of those responsible and the condition of the Taliban deputy governor, remain subject to further confirmation.
