Afghan government forces clashed with Taliban militants in a provincial capital about 120 kilometers from Kabul, officials and witnesses said on May 24.
Violence has been on the rise in Afghanistan since U.S. forces began their final pullout on May 1, as the militants press on with a campaign to seize new territory.
Fierce fighting erupted late on May 23 on the edge of Mihtarlam, a city of around 140,000 people and the capital of the eastern province of Laghman. Militants attacked the central prison before they were pushed back by security forces.
