The Taliban are rapidly losing control of the country.

Large Taliban forces have been defeated by the Northern Alliance, a militia and a rebuilding Afghan army. As a result, two more regions of Afghanistan were freed from the Taliban terrorist movement (a terrorist movement banned in Russia - ed.).

According to various estimates, during the counterattack of the rebel forces, up to 200 Taliban were killed, while another part of the militants was put to flight. At the same time, at the moment, the militias are reinforcing the occupied areas with the construction of field fortifications, which will ensure the protection of the liberated regions in the event of a new attack by the militants.

“The Taliban have lost control of two more counties in Baghlan province. They were freed by the militia of field commander Abdul Hamid Dadgar. Militia control over Banu (second name Andarab) and Dehi Salah counties is confirmed by video from the scene. Militia units used Humvees with heavy machine guns to liberate them. At the moment, the Taliban have lost control over three counties in Baghlan province ", - according to the Russian news agency ANNA News.

At the moment, the forces of the Northern Alliance control only about 1% of the territory of Afghanistan. Given the fact that this took less than a week, and the resistance forces continue to grow, it is logical to assume that in the coming weeks the militants may lose control over several more regions of Afghanistan.

Earlier, the news agency Avia.pro reported that the forces of the Northern Alliance were armed with at least one Mi-17 helicopter with a full ammunition load.
