ISLAMABAD—An overnight raid by Taliban members in Afghanistan’s northern Balkh Province killed six members of the ISIS terrorist group, a Taliban spokesman said on Tuesday.

The regional affiliate of ISIS has been the key rival of the Taliban since their takeover of Afghanistan in August 2021. The terrorist group has increased its attacks, targeting both Taliban members and members of Afghanistan’s Shiite minority.
