The Freedom and Justice Movement has claimed responsibility for a military operation targeting a Taliban checkpost in Qalat City, the capital of Zabul Province, marking another reported incident amid increasing activities by armed opposition groups against the Taliban across parts of Afghanistan.
According to a statement issued by the group, the operation was carried out at approximately 10:30 PM, during which its fighters targeted a Taliban position in Qalat. The group claimed that none of its personnel suffered casualties during the operation.
The Freedom and Justice Movement did not provide further details regarding possible casualties among Taliban fighters or the extent of damage caused to the targeted position.
The reported attack comes amid growing claims by various anti-Taliban factions regarding armed operations against Taliban forces in different parts of Afghanistan. In recent weeks, opposition groups have increased their public announcements of attacks, highlighting ongoing security challenges facing the Taliban authorities.
Security developments in several Afghan provinces continue to draw attention as competing armed groups carry out operations and attempt to challenge the Taliban’s control and security presence.
The latest incident in Zabul adds to broader concerns regarding the evolving security landscape in Afghanistan, where armed opposition activities, local conflicts, and militant networks continue to shape the country’s security environment.
