Kabul: Civil war is raging between the Afghan army and the Taliban in Afghanistan. A fierce battle is raging between the Taliban and Afghan forces over control of several key Afghan cities. However, thousands of civilians are falling victim to this war. More than 50 civilians have been killed as Taliban militants plant roadside bombs at a military base in southern Afghanistan. A bomb blast near the Afghan capital, Kabul, has killed at least eight people and injured 30 others. However, the defense minister is safe.

The United Nations says the Taliban have planted roadside bombs in an attempt to seize a base in southern Afghanistan, killing more than 50 civilians. A local resident said people's bodies had fallen on the roads. These are the corpses of civilians that we don't know about the Taliban. Many families have fled for their lives in fear of the Taliban. The Taliban want to dominate the capital of Helmand province. Helmand was once the center of American and British military operations. So this area is very important.

A Taliban bomb blast near the Afghan capital, Kabul, has killed at least eight people. The bomber struck shortly after noon in front of a police recruiting center in Kabul. Four Taliban militants were killed in the ensuing clashes.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid claimed responsibility for the attack in Kabul. He claimed that they would continue their attacks to seize the provincial capitals of southwestern Afghanistan. Afghanistan, meanwhile, admitted on Wednesday that Taliban militants, along with the Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Toiba, had wreaked havoc in their country.

In an interview with ambassadors from neighboring states, Afghan Foreign Minister Hanif Atmar said 3,000 people had been killed and more than 300,000 displaced so far in Taliban violence.

Taliban militants are wreaking havoc across the country along with Pakistan-based terrorist organizations Lashkar-e-Toiba, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, Al Qaeda, East Turkistan, Islamic Movement Ansarullah, etc.
