The Afghanistan Freedom Front (AFF) says that as a result of launching a military operation against the Taliban in Zebak district of Badakhshan province, five fighters of the group were killed and four others were wounded.
The front said in a statement published on Tuesday, 28 July 2026, that its forces repelled Taliban attacks in Zebak district at around 10:00 p.m. the previous night and then carried out a military operation against the group.
According to the statement, in addition to inflicting heavy losses on the Taliban, the group’s fighters also retreated from the area following the clashes.
The Afghanistan Freedom Front also said that none of its forces were harmed during the fighting.
This comes as military attacks between the Afghanistan Freedom Front and Taliban fighters have increased in Badakhshan in recent days.
The Afghanistan Freedom Front had previously said that seven Taliban fighters were killed in a rocket attack on a Taliban military convoy along the Kabul-Badakhshan route.
