The attacks reportedly left six security officials hurt.

The attacks took place on security outposts in Baghlan-e-Markazi and Nahrin districts as well as on the outskirts of Pul-e-Khumri city, the center of Baghlan, the sources told Tolo News.

“Two of the soldiers wounded in Nahrin district are in critical condition but have not been taken the provincial hospital as the Taliban has closed the highway (leading to the center of the province),” a local official told the news portal who wished not to be named due to security reasons. “We need air transport to transfer the wounded.”

Farid Khan Sayedkhili, a local army commander, told Tolo News that security forces have suffered casualties but added that “10 Taliban members were also killed or wounded in the clashes.”
