The Taliban seized a seventh provincial capital in Afghanistan in under a week as the terrorist group continues to make advances as U.S. forces continue to withdraw from the beleaguered country.
“This afternoon the Taliban entered the city of Farah after briefly fighting with the security forces. They have captured the governor’s office and police headquarters,” Shahla Abubar, a member of Farah’s provincial council, was quoted by the AFP news agency as saying.
