Taliban takes control of Ishkimish district in Afghanistan’s northern Takhar province
Taliban seized Ishkimish, a strategically crucial district for both Taliban and Afghanistan, after fierce clashes late on Thursday.
Afghan security forces were forced to leave the district due to a lack of ammunition and air support, local sources said.
Many security forces and Taliban fighters were killed in the clashes but the exact number was unknown.
Taliban forces have taken the control of more than 15 districts since the beginning of the official withdrawal of US and NATO troops in Afghanistan on May 1.
