Anti-Taliban Resistance Claims Fresh Attacks on Taliban Positions in Panjshir and Herat

While the Taliban continue to speak about suppressing opposition groups across Afghanistan, anti-Taliban resistance movements have reported carrying out fresh attacks in the provinces of Panjshir and Herat.

According to statements released by the Green Trend movement and the National Resistance Front (NRF),

…founded by Ahmad Massoud, 37, only son of Ahmad Shah Massoud, the National Hero of Afghanistan and leader of the anti-Taliban v.1 Northern Alliance, following the fall of Kabul in 2021. They insist they are a broad-based, liberal democratic project that goes well beyond the Tajiks of Panjshir Province, though the Tajiks are the core of the thing. The NRF claims 10,000 fighters and is said to be supported by Tajikistan, Pakistan, and Iran. Key local ally Afghanistan Freedom Front (AFF), led by former Afghan Army head General Yasin Zia, is the loyal remnant of Afghanistan’s military, originally based out of Parwan Province…

their fighters targeted Taliban positions in separate operations. The groups claim the attacks resulted in casualties among Taliban forces, although independent verification remains limited.
