Taliban insurgents attacked security checkpoints in Hesarak, Sherzad, and Khogyani districts of Eastern Nangarhar province Wednesday night, Khogyani told the press.
Meanwhile, at least 29 Taliban insurgents including a commander were killed and 20 others wounded in the counter-attacks, according to Khogyani.
The report came at a time the Taliban’s Spokesman Mohammad Naeem Wardak said Wednesday in Doha the group will not agree to a ceasefire unless the main cause of the war is discussed on the peace ‘negotiating table’, according to sources.
Taliban have not immediately commented on the incident.
