"[The] Taliban's gathering was targeted by B-52 in #Shebergan city, Jawzjan province today evening at 6:30pm [14:00 GMT]. The #terrorists have suffered heavy casualties as a result of US Air Forces #airstrike", Aman tweeted.
On Saturday, the Taliban announced that the group had seized the southwestern province of Nimruz and the northern province of Jawzjan. The capital of Nimruz, Zaranj, was the first provincial centre the terrorist movement has captured since 2016.
Afghanistan is seeing a spike in violence now as the Taliban has stepped up an offensive after international troops started gradually withdrawing from the country. The latter is scheduled to be completed by September 11th. The pullout was stipulated in an agreement reached by the Taliban and the United States in Doha in February 2020.
* The Taliban is a terrorist group banned in Russia and many other countries.
