The Afghanistan Freedom Front (AFF) has claimed responsibility for an attack on a Taliban intelligence facility in Charikar, the capital of Parwan province, on the evening of Monday, 7 July.

In a statement released after the incident, the group said two Taliban members were killed and three others wounded in the assault. Local sources in Parwan confirmed the attack took place, though further details remain limited.

The AFF also published video footage purportedly showing the moment of the strike. In the clip, a loud explosion can be heard, followed by plumes of smoke rising from the targeted area.

On Tuesday, local sources told Afghanistan International that a Taliban checkpoint in Charikar had been struck, consistent with the AFF’s claim.

As of Tuesday evening, Taliban officials had not issued a public statement regarding the incident.

The AFF is one of several armed opposition groups that have periodically launched attacks against Taliban targets since the group’s return to power in August 2021.
