The Afghanistan United Front has claimed responsibility for an attack in Kandahar province that allegedly killed two Taliban personnel, including Taliban commander Rahimullah Rohani.
In a statement, the anti-Taliban group said its fighters targeted the Taliban personnel in the Dalawar area of Arghandab district, killing Rohani and another member of the Taliban police.
The group described the incident as an attack against Taliban personnel, although independent confirmation of the reported casualties and the circumstances surrounding the operation was not immediately available.
The claimed attack comes amid continued opposition to Taliban rule in Afghanistan, where anti-Taliban groups have periodically reported operations against Taliban officials and security personnel.
Arghandab is a district of Kandahar province, the southern Afghan region closely associated with the Taliban leadership. However, no further details were immediately available regarding the nature of the attack, the weapons used, or whether other personnel were injured.
The Taliban authorities had not issued an immediate response to the claim.
