KABUL: As many as fifteen Afghan policemen were killed in two different attacks carried out by Taliban in northern Sar-e-Pul province of Afghanistan.
An Afghan official told International news outlet, that Taliban launched two attacks, killing 15 members of Afghan police force.
In one attack, on the outskirts of the provincial capital, heavy artillery fire by Afghan forces trying to repel the insurgents sent local residents fleeing for safety.
Provincial council chief Mohammad Noor Rahmani said that along with 15 policemen killed, 21 were wounded in the two attacks, which took place late on Monday.
He said fierce gunbattles raged for several hours in Sayyad district and outside Sar-e-Pul, the provincial capital.
Taliban spokesman Qari Yousuf Ahmadi claimed responsibility for both attacks.
The Taliban have been carrying out near-daily attacks targeting Afghan forces despite stepped-up efforts by the United States to find a negotiated end to the country’s 17-year war.
