KABUL, Afghanistan: An Afghan official says the Taliban have targeted a checkpoint in northern Balkh province, killing at least eight members of the security forces.
Adil Shah Adil, spokesman for the provincial police chief, says that five other members of the security forces were wounded in Monday night’s attack in the district of Sholgara.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but Adil blamed the Taliban who are active in Balkh, especially in Sholgara, and have repeatedly struck checkpoints there.
