A single source unconfirmed report:

17 #Taliban and 4 #ISKP (Daesh) members were killed in a clash between the two groups in #Arghandab District of #Zabul Province. Local sources told @kabulnewstv that the ISKP fighters, equipped with heavy& light weapons, ambushed the Taliban. Image
In mid-2015, #Zabul Province was a second stronghold of #ISKP in AFG after Nangarhar. #IMU leader, Usman Ghazi & his supporters who pledged allegiance to Islamic State fought Taliban till death in Zabul, but the province was cleared of ISKP in end of 2015.

The #Taliban claimed to have taken Lashkar Gar, Helmand's capital, earlier this morning, and that's either true or soon will be; now this. Two provincial capitals down already today, 15 overall. #Afghanistan
#Taliban are in Pul-i-Alam, the capital of Logar province; it is either overrun or very nearly. Third provincial capital to fall today, 16th in total.
It was expected that Tarinkot, the capital of the Uruzgan province, would fall today and the governor now says he was asked by tribal leaders not to fight the Taliban so as not to destroy the city. If and when that will be the 4th today and 17th overall.
