The Afghanistan Freedom Front (AFF) has claimed responsibility for an attack on Taliban intelligence personnel near the Taliban police headquarters in Pul-e-Alam, the capital of Logar province, saying three personnel were killed and two others injured.
In a statement, the anti-Taliban group said its fighters targeted intelligence personnel operating near the police headquarters. The reported casualties have not been independently verified, and further details about the attackers, the weapons used, or the circumstances of the assault were not immediately available.
The incident adds to the security challenges facing the Taliban authorities as anti-Taliban groups continue to claim attacks against their personnel and security installations in different parts of Afghanistan.
AFF Claims Intensified Operations Against Taliban
The Afghanistan Freedom Front said its operations against the Taliban had intensified in recent months, claiming that its fighters had carried out attacks against Taliban personnel and positions.
The group also cited direct clashes in Badakhshan and Nuristan provinces, indicating that its claimed activities extend beyond Logar in eastern Afghanistan.
However, the available claims do not independently establish the scale or frequency of these operations, and further verification is needed to assess their impact on the Taliban’s security apparatus.
Security Challenges Across Multiple Provinces
The reported attack in Pul-e-Alam highlights the continuing threat of targeted violence against Taliban security and intelligence personnel. Attacks near security headquarters can also raise concerns over the protection of official installations and personnel tasked with maintaining internal security.
The Taliban authorities’ response to the latest claim was not immediately available. No further information was provided about the identities of the personnel reportedly killed or injured.
While the AFF has portrayed its recent operations as an intensifying campaign against Taliban rule, the extent of its operational reach and the independent confirmation of its claims remain unclear.
