KABUL, 16 February, 2021 (TON): The Afghan Defense Ministry said on Tuesday, that the Afghan National Army commandos have freed 42 people from Taliban custody in the province of Baghlan.

"During a special operation of the Afghan National Army personnel, six national army soldiers, 19 policemen, and 17 civilians have been freed from a Taliban hideout in Nawruzak area of Baghlan-e-Markazi district of Baghlan province Monday night," the ministry said in a statement.

The people freed will join the families soon, the statement added.

This is the second Taliban detention center in two months in Baghlan that has been completely destroyed following the national army special operations, said the statement.

The Taliban group has not yet responded to the statement.

However, it is seen that the Taliban group has been looking forward to the peace deals in a process that involved several meetings from the Taliban group and the other parties in Tehran. Unfortunately, now the deal is withheld for no apparent reason.
