Afghan security officials on Wednesday denied Taliban claims, and reports from some local observers, that Badghis province has been completely conquered by the advancing Islamist insurgency.
The governor of Badghis claimed a counteroffensive has dislodged occupying Taliban forces from the provincial capital of Qala-e-Naw.
A representative to the Afghan parliament from Badghis, Abdulbasir Osmani, told Khaama Press on Wednesday the Taliban captured Qala-e-Naw on Tuesday afternoon after steadily rolling up every district in the province. A Taliban spokesman also claimed the city and province had fallen.
The Afghan Defense Ministry conceded government forces in Badghis were in a “very sensitive military situation” and said “war is raging” with the Taliban for control of the capital. Foreign media reports indicated police and intelligence agency headquarters in Qala-e-Naw we

08 Jul 2021, 06:35 GMT+10
ISLAMABAD - Authorities in Afghanistan said Wednesday pro-government forces had pushed back Taliban insurgents from parts of a northwestern city and regained control of official buildings after hours of fierce clashes.
Fighting erupted in parts of Qala-e-Naw, the capital of Badghis province, after the Taliban assaulted it overnight from multiple directions. Residents and officials said insurgent fighters pushed their way into the city, taking over key security installations, including provincial police headquarters, and freeing about 600 inmates from the central prison.
Video footage released by the Taliban showed the prisoners escaping from the facility and insurgent fighters riding motorbikes moving into different parts of the city.

Les talibans ont lancé mercredi leur première offensive contre une capitale provinciale d’Afghanistan, Qala-i-Naw, depuis le début en mai de leur campagne contre les forces afghanes, déclenchée à la faveur du retrait des troupes américaines du pays, désormais quasiment terminé.
Quelques heures après que l’armée américaine a annoncé avoir achevé «à plus de 90%» son retrait d’Afghanistan, les talibans, qui se sont emparés depuis mai de vastes portions rurales du territoire et rapprochés de plusieurs grandes villes, sont entrés mercredi matin dans Qala-i-Naw, une ville d’environ 75’000 habitants, capitale de la province de Badghis (nord-ouest).
