June Deadliest Month In Two Decades Of Ongoing Afghan Conflict

While Afghanistan forces killed over 6,000 Taliban terrorists in June, according to the authorities, 638 military personnel and civilians also reportedly died during this period in Taliban attacks.

Afghan National Security and Defense Forces (ANDSF) have killed over 6,000 Taliban terrorists in June, which was the deadliest month of conflict in the country, claimed authorities in Kabul. Most of the casualties were reported in 12 provinces, mostly in northern and central Afghanistan, according to TOLO News. Almost 120 districts were evacuated by the Afghan government following offensives by the Taliban. Numbers gathered by TOLO News showed that Taliban attacks have killed 638 military personnel and civilians during this period and 1,060 others were wounded. "The main reason for the collapse of the districts is poor leadership at the leadership level of the security and defence forces," said MP Khan Agha Rezayee.
