Forces belonging to Afghanistan’s National Resistance Front have killed 10 members of the Taliban and severely wounded a dozen others today in an ambush that was reported by the NRF spokesperson, Sibghatullah Ahmadi. 

In a series of tweets, Mr. Ahmadi said that Taliban fighters attacked the positions of National Resistance Front fighters in Panjshir province. Before reaching their target, though, they were ambushed near a base in the Hesarak area of the province, which is about 90 miles north of Kabul. The battle started on Friday morning and is said to be ongoing, with no reported casualties on the NRF side.
