KABUL: An Afghan official says the Taliban stormed an army checkpoint in western Farah province, killing 20 troops.
Provincial councilman Dadullah Qaneh said on Monday that the insurgents also captured two soldiers in the attack in Gulistan district overnight. The fate of the abducted wasn’t immediately known.
A Taliban spokesman, Qari Yusouf Ahmadi, claimed responsibility for the attack.
The Taliban still carry out near-daily attacks on Afghan forces even as peace efforts have accelerated to find an end to Afghanistan’s nearly 18-year war.
