RASC News Agency: Reports from local sources confirm an explosion inside the Taliban’s police headquarters in Kunduz province, resulting in multiple casualties among their fighters. The incident occurred on the evening of Monday, January 6, at the Taliban’s security command facility in the city of Kunduz. Sources indicate the explosion was triggered by a hand grenade. The injured, all members of the Taliban, were rushed to the Kunduz Airport Hospital, with one individual reportedly in critical condition.
As of now, no group or individual has claimed responsibility for the attack, and the Taliban in Kunduz have remained silent on the matter. This is in line with the group’s habitual lack of transparency and reluctance to address incidents of this nature. Over the past three years, the Taliban have consistently downplayed or denied security breaches, opting for a narrative of control and stability. Although responsibility for this particular attack remains unclaimed, groups like the National Resistance Front and the Afghanistan Freedom Front have previously launched operations targeting Taliban forces across various provinces.
This incident starkly contrasts the Taliban’s narrative of complete authority and nationwide security. Despite their assertions, the uptick in targeted assassinations and assaults on Taliban officials and strategic centers highlights the group’s glaring security vulnerabilities. Their inability to safeguard their own personnel and installations raises serious doubts about their capacity to ensure the safety and security of the Afghanistani population.
