Afghan Taliban Seize 200-Bed Hospital in Kunduz City
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Afghan Taliban militants Monday seized control of a 200-bed hospital in Kunduz city in the north, a spokesman for the militants said.
The Taliban launched a fierce offensive from three directions on Kunduz just after dawn, raising fresh fears parts of the provincial capital could fall into their hands.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in a post on Twitter that miltants had seized a hospital in a district in the south of the city, Reuters reported.
A police official, who declined to be identified, confirmed that a government-run hospital had fallen into insurgent hands but had no further details.
