KABUL, 25 June 2021, (TON): Intense fighting in the northern Afghan province of Kunduz killed at least 28 civilians and injured 290 this week, according to hospital officials, as conflict surges in the war-torn nation while foreign forces withdraw.
Ehsanullah Fazli, head of Kunduz's provincial hospital, said “28 bodies and 290 wounded civilians had been delivered to two local hospitals in the past three days, with the vast majority of the casualties children, women and elderly people.”
He said "the war is still going on in the city of Kunduz and the death toll will rise."
Fighting has worsened around Afghanistan but especially in the north where Taliban insurgents have conducted a wave of offensives in recent days, moving beyond their southern strongholds.
