Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said on Monday, “Today at around 5:00 a.m. a large number of militants entered the Kabul Police HQ in Dehmazang and attacked an American training center, a police center, and other military centers and caused heavy casualties on the enemy.”
A powerful car bomb blast followed by several explosions hit the capital early Monday after several militants tried to infiltrate into the traffic police building.
According to Kabul police officials, at least five Taliban militants were reportedly killed and 12 people including four police officers and eight civilians were also wounded in the offensive.
On Wednesday, a bomb attack in front of the gates of Afghanistan’s intelligence agency headquarters in Kabul claimed the lives of 30 people.
