The Taliban on Monday claimed responsibility for an attack at a military centre in southern Helmand province in Afghanistan where at least 150 members of an Afghan army and intelligence wing were stationed, SIA reports referring to TRT World. The bombing occurred on Sunday night, government officials and Taliban said.
"Dozens of members belonging to the enemy forces have been killed and wounded in the attack," said Qari Yousuf Ahmedi, a spokesman for the group, in a statement.
Months after the US and the Taliban signed a deal which Washington heralded as the way to end Afghanistan's war, violence is spiraling out of control and experts say a fragile peace process risks collapse. Dozens of Afghan security forces and Taliban fighters have been dying almost daily with civilian casualties rising across the country as both sides ramp up operations.
The timing could hardly be worse, as Afghanistan also grapples with a coronavirus epidemic.
