Residents of Baghlan-e-Markazi district in the northern Baghlan province claimed that at least 1,000 families have fled their homes to escape the war which has reportedly almost closed in on the district’s center – in the west of Pul-e-Khumri city.

“At least 800 or 900 families have  been displaced as a result of war in Tarakhail, Ghulam Bai and Tajika villages (in Baghlan-e-Markazi),” said Gawhar Khan Baburi, the district governor of Baghlan-e-Markazi. 

“The situation is critical in Baghlan-e-Markazi. People’s lives has been heavily affected,” said Sher Mohammad, a resident of Baghlan-e-Markazi. 

“A rocket has landed in the street close to our house. No one asks about it,” said Noman, another resident of the district. 

Military officials said reinforcements have arrived and that government forces will continue their efforts to push back the Taliban.

“We will clear the areas under the control of the enemy,” said Colonel Ziauddin, commander of the first regiment of the second battalion of 209 Shaheen Corps Headquarters.

“The anti-government armed militants are in Ghulam Bai, Qazi and Ghorbandi Ha villages,” said Mohibullah Kohdamani, the police chief of Baghlan-e-Markazi district.

Meanwhile, Baghlan police said at least 20 Taliban militants have been killed in the battle so far.
