'Taliban Conducted 32 Attacks in 24 Hours': MoI
[ToloNews] As the Afghan forces maintain a defense-only stance towards the Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
following the official reduction in violence period, the Ministry of Interior (MoI) on Tuesday said the Taliban conducted 32 attacks in 15 provinces over the last 24 hours.

The Interior Ministry front man Nusrat Rahimi said the attacks were conducted on civilians and security forces members.

"Two civilians and five security force members were killed in the attacks," Rahimi said. He added that 16 civilians and 12 security force members were maimed in the attacks.

According to Rahimi, the security forces conducted defensive operations in which eight Taliban fighters were killed and a would-be jacket wallah was killed in Kandahar before reaching his target.

Helmand
...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan...
governor Yasin Khan said that the Taliban have continued their attacks after the end of the weeklong reduction in violence. But he added the violence has been slightly reduced in Helmand compared to the past.

"When they started the attacks, we also decided to respond," he said.

The Taliban has not commented on the Interior Ministry’s statement.
