The Republic Front of Afghanistan has claimed responsibility for an attack targeting the Taliban’s provincial police headquarters in the center of Ghor province.
In a statement, the group said its forces carried out the attack at around 4 p.m. on Monday. The statement did not provide further details about the nature of the attack or identify the weapons allegedly used.
Meanwhile, local sources in Ghor have confirmed to AMU that an attack occurred in the provincial capital. However, independent details regarding the circumstances of the incident remain limited.
The Republic Front has not disclosed information about possible casualties or the extent of damage caused by the reported attack. It also remains unclear whether Taliban security personnel or other individuals were injured or killed.
The incident comes amid continued reports of attacks and armed activities targeting Taliban forces and institutions in different parts of Afghanistan. Several anti-Taliban groups have claimed responsibility for attacks against Taliban security personnel and government facilities since the group returned to power in August 2021.
Ghor, a mountainous province in central Afghanistan, has experienced security incidents and armed activity in recent years, although the scale and frequency of such incidents vary.
The latest attack has not been independently verified beyond confirmation from local sources that an incident took place. No immediate statement from Taliban officials regarding the reported attack, casualties or potential damage was included in the information available.
Further details are expected as authorities and local sources provide additional information about the incident.
