The Freedom Front said on Monday that at least three Taliban members were killed and two others wounded in an attack targeting a Taliban vehicle in Feyzabad, the capital of Badakhshan province.
In a statement, the group said the attack targeted a vehicle carrying Taliban members near the Taliban’s mining department in the city.
Local sources had earlier reported an explosion in the Jalgir area of Feyzabad on Monday morning. According to the sources, a Hilux-type vehicle was targeted in the incident.
The Freedom Front claimed responsibility for the attack but did not provide further details about the identities of those allegedly killed or wounded.
The Taliban authorities have not immediately issued a public statement confirming the casualties or providing details about the incident.
The circumstances surrounding the explosion, including the type of attack and the identities of those responsible, remain unclear beyond the Freedom Front’s claim.
The Freedom Front is an armed opposition group that has claimed responsibility for attacks against Taliban forces in several Afghan provinces. Such claims are often difficult to independently verify because access to conflict areas remains limited.
Further information from local authorities or independent sources would be needed to establish the exact circumstances and casualty figures.
