ABU DHABI, 26 September. At least 100 civilians were killed during the five-day offensive militant movement “Taliban” in Ghazni province in south-eastern Afghanistan. According to local media today, the Taliban almost completely occupied the region Azhristan and continue to attack government security forces.

According to the agency Hama Press, the number of militants reaches about 800 people, including 200 foreign mercenaries. Intense clashes began last Thursday. During this time, the Taliban took several major points of support and control the major roads in Azhristan.

According to the agency representative of the local authorities Abdul Jamea Jamea, in the occupied territories extremists have organized mass executions of the local population. Gunmen shot and burned civilians. The police note that radical action is very similar to the “handwriting” terrorist group Islamic state.

Afghan security forces put up fierce resistance, and continue to hold the central administrative building. The provincial government has requested emergency assistance from the federal government. “If we do not get support in the near future, the area will be completely captured” – warned the deputy governor of Ghazni Ali Ahmadi.

Fighting between government forces and the Taliban in Ghazni province intermittently continues virtually the whole of September. Afghan security forces have repeatedly reported about their successes and liquidated dozens of terrorists, but the proximity of the region to the Afghan-Pakistani border allows radicals to quickly get reinforcements and organize more attacks.
