on multiple parts of the Baghlan-Balkh highway, a key route that connects Kabul with northern and northeastern provinces.

The sources said the festivities are ongoing in the Chashma-e-Shir area and on the outskirts of Pul-e-Khumri city, the center of Baghlan, leaving the highway closed to traffic.

The festivities started after the Taliban installed a checkpoint on Baghlan-Balkh highway in Chashma-e-Shir area and started "extorting funds from truck drivers," say sources.

Hundreds of vehicles have been stranded on both sides of the highway, according to eyewitnesses and passengers.

Ahmad, a passenger, said that women and kiddies are among those stranded on the two sides of the highway and are in a bad condition.

The commander of a highway unit, Abdul Ghani Mahmoudi, said the Taliban closed the highway after launching an attack on it.

He added that Taliban have hidden in civilians’ homes and there is a need for reinforcement troops to push the Lions of Islam back from the highway.

The Taliban has not commented on the attack so far.
