Taliban security forces kills six ISIS members, says source

Taliban security forces kills six ISIS members, says source

An overnight raid by Taliban forces in Afghanistan’s northern Balkh province killed six members of the extremist ISIS group, a Taliban spokesman said on Tuesday, APA reports citing Alarabiya News.

The regional affiliate of the ISIS group — known as the Islamic State in Khorasan Province — has been the key rival of the Taliban since their takeover of Afghanistan in August 2021. The militant group has increased its attacks, targeting both Taliban patrols and members of Afghanistan’s Shia minority.

According to Mohammad Asif Waziri, a spokesman for the police chief in Balkh, the operation late Monday night targeted an ISIS hideout in Nahri Shahi district and six members of the militant group were killed.
