Taliban attacked Afghanistan in the midst of peace talks

A militant rocket fire in Northern Afghanistan caused the death of a minimum of four civilians on Thursday, as informed by the country’s Defence Ministry.

The Taliban was blamed for the attack, as per the statement by the ministry. As per the report, the fire wounded 14 other innocents and damaged numerous houses in the vicinity of the Sharin Tagab district of Faryab province. No responsibility for the attack has been claimed yet.

The latest surge in violence and aggression all over the country has arisen due to the Afghan government officials being in discussions with the Taliban in Qatar, where the latter have their political office for the past few years. The negotiations have been predicted under a US deal signed with the rebels in February, and is indicated to put an end to the Afghanistan’s ardous war for the past 19 years.
