KABUL (SW) \u2013 At least eight security forces got killed in the Taliban attacks in Nimroz and Baghlan provinces, officials said on Friday.<\/p>\n
Sources in Baghlan and Nimroz provinces said eight security personnel were killed and seven others wounded in the Taliban attacks. A source in Nimroz, who did not want to be named, told Salam Watandar that the Taliban attacked a checkpoint in the Halili area of \u200b\u200bChakhansur district last night, killing two policemen and wounding two others. The Taliban also confiscated all equipment from the checkpoint, said the source.<\/p>\n
Local officials in Nimroz have not commented on the incident.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, sources in Baghlan told Salam Watandar that three soldiers were killed and four others were wounded in Taliban attacks in Pul-e-Khumri and central Baghlan districts. A number of security personnel in the central Baghlan district said that since the main Kunduz-Pul-i-Khumri highway is under Taliban control, no reinforcements have arrived in the area compelling them to transport the wounded to the district center on donkeys.<\/p>\n
The health condition of the injured is said to be critical.<\/p>\n
The Taliban have not yet commented on the attacks.<\/p>\n
Separately, security sources in Baghlan told Salam Watandar a local police commander in Pul-i-Khumri has joined the Taliban with two of his bodyguards.<\/p>\n
