Taliban claim Panjshir valley 'completely captured': Reports

After the Taliban claimed that they have captured Panjshir valley, the resistance force vowed to carry on fighting.

As per details, the war over Panjshir escalated on Friday night and the NRF said two of its senior leaders were killed during the fighting.

“Thousands of Taliban fighters overran eight districts of Panjshir overnight,” reported The Associated Press citing witnesses.

On Sunday, the Taliban tweeted that their forces had overrun Rokha district, one of the largest of eight districts in Panjshir.

Taliban chief spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid in a statement said that, "With this victory, our country is completely taken out of the quagmire of war".

Mujahid assured that the residents of Panjshir would be safe.

“We give full confidence to the honourable people of Panjshir that they will not be subjected to any discrimination, that all are our brothers, and that we will serve a country and a common goal,” Mujahid said in his statement.

Meanwhile, the NRF said it was present in "strategic positions" across the valley and that "the struggle against the Taliban and their partners will continue".

“Taliban’s claim of occupying Panjshir is false. The NRF forces are present in all strategic positions across the valley to continue the fight,” it said in one of its Twitter handle.
