Taliban move closer to capital after taking the strategic city of Ghazni in Afghanistan

International

The Taliban have reportedly captured the city of Ghazni located just 150 km (95 miles) from Afghanistan’s capital Kabul.

AFP quoted a senior lawmaker as saying that the Taliban now control all the important installations in Ghazni, including the governor’s office. 

“The Taliban took control of the key areas of the city- the governor’s office, the police headquarters and the prison,” said Nasir Ahmad Faqiri, head of the provincial council. 

Faqiri added that fighting between the insurgents and government forces is continuing in the region, however, a major part of the city had fallen in the insurgents’ hands. 

The fall of the strategically important city came just hours after the Taliban captured a police headquarters on Thursday in a provincial capital in southern Afghanistan.
