This past Sunday and Monday, the Taliban has killed 27 members of Afghanistan's security forces by targeting three provinces. The Taliban has also attacked various police checkpoints throughout the area. It is estimated that the death toll may indeed by higher, as not all casualties have been reported as of yet. It was primarily security, military, and police officers that were killed in the shootings that took place. In addition, at least 20 members of the Taliban have been reported as having been killed by Afghan forces. This is not the first time the Taliban has attacked military bases or police checkpoints in the area, as they are reported as having a "strong presence" in all of the three provinces that were targeted this weekend (Al Jazeera). One of the bases that was targeted is once again under Afghan control despite the recent Taliban attempt to reclaim the districts it once possessed.
