KABUL, 13 February, 2021 (TON): Blasts hit in the eastern and southern provinces on Saturday, Afghan security force members, including a commander were killed and seven critically injured, the officials said.

None of the group took the responsibility of the blasts that came up after the upsurge in violence in Afghanistan as the clash intensified between the government and the Taliban.

A string of near-daily roadside bombings in recent weeks has killed government officials, judges, journalists and activists.

Afghanistan’s Defense Ministry said, “18 Taliban terrorists were killed and 9 others were wounded” in an operation in Arghandab district of Kandahar province on Friday night.

Taking notice of the ongoing conditions in Afghanistan, President Joe Biden’s team is reviewing a peace-building deal that the government of his predecessor Donald Trump sealed with the Taliban in February 2020. The pact requires all American and allied forces to leave the country by 1 May.
