Afghanistan crisis: Taliban march towards Kabul capturing key cities - PICS
Taliban is wreaking havoc over Afghanistan as it continues to capture several provincial capitals in the country, the most recent being Herat and Kandahar. The Taliban captured two major Afghan cities, the country’s second- and third-largest after Kabul, and a strategic provincial capital on Thursday, further squeezing the embattled government just weeks before the end of the American military mission in Afghanistan.
