A series of rocket explosions struck a military airport facility in Kabul late Wednesday night, in an attack claimed by an armed resistance group opposing the Taliban administration.
According to available accounts, multiple rockets were fired at a military installation used by Afghan Taliban, triggering explosions and a subsequent fire at the targeted site. The exact extent of damage and casualties remains unconfirmed, with no independent verification of losses on either side at this stage.
Afghanistan Freedom Front (AFF), the group claiming responsibility, stated that the strike was part of an ongoing operational campaign against Taliban positions in different parts of Afghanistan. It further alleged that the targeted facility was being used for the storage of military equipment and training-related activities.
Security observers note that such attacks highlight a continuing pattern of asymmetric strikes and emerging resistance activity in urban and semi-urban zones, particularly targeting installations associated with the Taliban’s security and military infrastructure.
Recent months have seen similar claims of attacks in multiple Afghan provinces, reflecting a fragmented but persistent armed resistance landscape that includes groups operating independently of each other and outside the Taliban’s formal control structures.
While the Taliban authorities have not released detailed official confirmation regarding casualties or structural damage from this specific incident, past incidents of similar nature have often resulted in conflicting narratives between official statements and claims made by resistance groups.
The situation underscores the continuing volatility of Afghanistan’s security environment, where competing claims, limited independent verification, and ongoing armed activity contribute to an increasingly complex conflict landscape.
