| [Khaama Press] Over sixty holy warriors were killed during the infighting the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... and ISIS holy warriors in northern Jawzjan province of Afghanistan. The 209th Shaheen Corps of the Afghan Military in the North said the festivities erupted in Darzab district of Jawzjan after a coordinated attack by the Talibs. According to a statement released by Shaheen Corps, at least 16 ISIS holy warriors and 10 Talibs have been killed during the festivities. The statement further added that 14 ISIS holy warriors also sustained injuries and at least 9 others were detained by the Talibs. A commander of the Taliban group was among those killed and at least 11 Talibs have sustained injuries while 2 others were detained by ISIS Lion of Islams, Shaheen Corps added. According to Shaheen Corps, festivities between the two sides still continue as the Talibs are attempting to clear Darzab district from the presence of ISIS Lion of Islams. The anti-government armed Lion of Islam groups including Taliban and ISIS holy warriors have not commented in this regard so far. Jawzjan has been among the relatively calm provinces in the North but the security of the province has tanked during the recent months amid growing ISIS and Taliban activities. |
