At least 23 members of the Afghan security forces have been killed and dozens more were wounded in multiple Taliban attacks on the first day of Ramadan.
The attacks were carried out in Balkh, Badakhshan, Logar, Baghlan and Takhar provinces.
Ten soldiers were killed in Balkh, three in Logar, six in Baghlan, one in Takhar and three in Badakhshan.
Religious scholars said that the continuation of war in Afghanistan, particularly during Ramadan, is against Islamic principles.
Meanwhile, President Ashraf Ghani and Abdullah Abdullah, the head of the High Council of National Reconciliation (HCNR), in separate messages for Ramandan called on the Taliban to stop war and agree to a ceasefire.
