AUF kills 102 Taliban of Afghan regime in Sept operations

Taliban regime security, intelligence, and administrative installations were targeted in Kandahar, Badakhshan, Baghlan, Helmand, Zabul, Paktia, and Mazar-e-Sharif. The Afghanistan United Front has released a video and reported an operation against the Taliban in the Sarband area of Arghandab district, Kandahar.

The group said its forces killed a Taliban police officer. Taliban officials have not commented. In a statement published on X on Saturday, 3 October, the United Front said the operation took place on Friday, 2 October, and resulted in the death of one Taliban member.

No further details have been released about the identity of those involved or the circumstances of the incident. The Taliban has not responded to the claim. Over the past month, the Afghanistan United Front has released several videos of its attacks against the Taliban, some of which show the bodies of Taliban members.

However, the video released in connection with this latest incident does not show the attack or any bodies. The United Front claims its forces have carried out 68 operations across 19 Afghan provinces over the past two months, killing 102 Taliban members and wounding another 45.

Most of the group’s reported attacks have taken place in southern provinces, particularly Kandahar and Helmand.
