Afghan National Army prepares for an operation in Khogyani district of Nangarhar province, Afghanistan. November 28, 2017.
The Taliban stormed checkpoints in northern and western Afghanistan. Militants killed at least eight members of the country's security forces and set off an hours-long gun battle in one of the attacks, provincial officials said as a US envoy arrived in Kabul on Monday to push for peace talks.
The insurgents captured six soldiers before fleeing the scene and their fate remains unknown, Amani said. The checkpoints were later retaken and the area was brought under control once reinforcements arrived. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but Amani blamed the Taliban who are active in the province and have stepped up their attacks on Afghan security forces.Separately, the Taliban on Monday overran an army checkpoint in western Badghis province, killing three soldiers, said Jamshid Shahabi, spokesman for the provincial governor. Four other soldiers were wounded and two were missing after the Taliban attack in the district of Bal Murgahb.
