The Taliban's dominance has been growing since the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan 20 years ago. Taliban militants claim their fighters have taken over 90 percent of Afghanistan. The Afghan army is constantly trying to free its territories from the grip of the Taliban.

Afghan security forces have stepped up attacks on the Taliban in recent days. He has killed 36 Taliban fighters near Kandahar, according to claims made by Afghan forces.

Amid the ongoing bloody conflict with Afghanistan, the Taliban is also making a variety of claims. The Taliban recently claimed control of the police headquarters in Ghaziabad district in the northern part of the country. At the same time, 80 Afghan security forces have joined the Taliban. The Taliban also shared photos of weapons and ammunition seized from Afghan forces in Ghaziabad.

Notably, the US recently withdrew its troops from Afghanistan after two decades. Since then the Taliban has taken on a more formidable form. It has occupied most of Afghanistan. The Taliban have also seized several major highways and border posts in the provinces of Herat, Farah, Kandahar, Kunduz, Takhar and Badakhshan, connecting Pakistan, Iran, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. Afghan forces are currently occupying border posts with Iran and Pakistan in Nangarhar, Paktia, Paktika, Khost and Nimroz provinces.

In this direction, the Taliban is preparing to occupy the lifeline of Afghanistan. In fact, Taliban militants are trying to occupy most of Afghanistan's highways. The Taliban has also had success in many places. The Taliban have taken control of the Kandahar Highway, which is considered the main supply. Apart from that, the Taliban is not only attacking the Afghan army on the second supply line between Jalalabad and Kabul, but ISIS is also keeping an eye on that supply line.
