The Freedom and Justice Movement (Nahzat-e Azadi va Adalat), an armed anti-Taliban opposition group led by former Afghan National Army commander General Hamed Saifi, has announced a targeted night attack against a de facto security post in the Bagram district of Parwan province.
According to an official press release issued by the movement, guerrilla forces conducted a localized assault at approximately 1:30 a.m. on the “Kajay Hajiyan” outpost in Bagram. The statement claims that one de facto security member was killed and two others were wounded during the engagement, while the attacking fighters withdrew safely without suffering casualties.
Persistent Low-Level Resistance Across Strategic Corridors
While de facto security officials have not publicly commented on the Bagram incident, the claimed assault aligns with a broader pattern of asymmetrical guerrilla operations targeting regime checkpoints, transport hubs, and security outposts across Parwan and the wider central-northern corridor:
- Targeting Strategic Transit Zones: Parwan province—home to the former Bagram Airfield and key highways connecting Kabul to northern provinces—remains a frequent site of hit-and-run operations conducted by various armed opposition factions, including the Freedom and Justice Movement and the Afghanistan Freedom Front (AFF).
- Guerrilla Strategy: Due to the de facto administration’s conventional military dominance and heavy weapons oversight, anti-Taliban armed groups rely primarily on swift, nighttime hit-and-run raids, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and targeted ambushes to harass regime security personnel.
- Claims of Minimal Resistance Losses: Opposition groups consistently report zero casualties during short-duration raids, emphasizing rapid withdrawal into surrounding rural hideouts before central reinforcements can arrive.
Rising Security Friction and Regime Containment
The reported attack arrives amidst heightened security operations by de facto forces across Parwan, Kapisa, and Panjshir provinces, where authorities have deployed specialized units and increased night patrols to suppress insurgent activity. Despite official claims by the de facto Ministry of Interior that countrywide security remains fully stabilized, regular anti-Taliban operations demonstrate that armed resistance networks continue to maintain operational pockets capable of conducting tactical strikes along key national infrastructure.
