The fighting between the Afghan security forces and the Taliban continued in the province of Jowzjan on Monday.

The footage shows the security forces compiled of the Afghan troops, Marshal Dostum’s forces, and other militiamen firing shots in the direction of the Taliban fighters.

“This operation was successful, at least 14 members of the Taliban were wounded and our security forces advanced two kilometres,” said Mohammad Hashim, the Jowzjan governor.

The fighting between the Afghan forces and Taliban fighters continues in 15 provinces, local reports say.

The Taliban reportedly seized control of several Afghan border crossings in recent weeks, amid the withdrawal of the US and other NATO troops.

The Biden administration announced that all US military forces will have left the country by September 11, ending an almost 20-year deployment.
