According to the initial information, a rocket landed in Sherpur/Wazir Akbar Khan area (PD10)&an explosion took place in Dehmazang area (PD3) of #Kabul City, today morning.
There are unfounded rumors in the social media that today's Kabul #explosions were caused by drone strikes.
#Taliban's interior ministry confirmed to media that a rocket was landed in a vacant/unoccupaied house in Sherpur area, in PD10 of Kabul City, today mirning. No casualties reported.
Here is the conspiracy theory, shared by Rahmatullah Nabil, former director of AFG's intelligence (NDS):
Here is the video clip of the Taliban's ministry of interior's spokesman about today morning's rocket attack that hit a house in PD10 of Kabul City (no casualties, as the house was unoccupaied):
The conspiracy theory about today morning's explosion in Kabul City, is developing.
After Nabil's claim, that US drone targeted an ISKP hideout, now other source said that actually PAK drones targeted some guest houses in 3 locations of Kabul, where TTP members were accommodated.
#Taliban confirmed that Sunday's attack was a US drone strike:
"The nature of the incident was not revealed at first. The IEA security& intelligence agencies investigated the incident& in their preliminary investigations found that the attack was carried out by #American_drones."
"The IEA strongly condemns this attack under any pretext& calls it a clear violation of international principles& Doha Agreement.
Such actions are a repetition of the failed experiences of the past 20 years& against the interests of the US, AFG& the region," TB spokesman said.
"Repeating such actions will damage the available opportunities," the Taliban statement concluded.
Note:
While the US officials didn't comment on the issue yet, it could be part of Biden's over-the-horizon counterterrorism operations in AFG, for protection of US&its allies. See⬇️
According to @FoxNews, AQ leader Ayman Al Zawahiri was killed in the US drone strike in Kabul on Sunday. @POTUS will address the nation, to announce an alleged successful over-the-horizone counterterrorism operation in #AFG.
The death of AQ leader is not officially confirmed yet.
U.S. President @JoeBiden confirmed the killing of AQ leader, Ayman Al Zawahiri, in a precised drone strike in Kabul City on Sunday.
As expected, he avoided mentioning the Taliban (as hosts of Al Zawahiri or enablers of his killing) in his entire speech about death of Al Zawahiri.
A thread about details of the killing of Al Zawahiri:
#Taliban in #Nimroz Province of Afghanistan, clashed with #Iran border guards, today.
Iranian officials blamed Taliban for initiating the #clash.
More details will come soon.
Taliban confirmed the incident in Nimroz, blaming Iran border guards for starting the clash.
According to the IEA border forces commander in Nimroz, one Talib was killed and another one wounded in today's cash. He didn't provide info about casualties to the Iranian border guards.
According to some pro-Iran sources, the clash on border between Afghanistan and Iran was started, after the Taliban wanted to raise/install their flag, in an area which was not AFG's territory.
طالبان د پېښو په هکله 'پر وخت' او 'کره' معلومات له رسنیو سره نه شریکوي، وروسته بیا ګیله کوي چې ولې نور منابع ددوی په اصطلاح ناسم معلومات او ارقام خپروي. #Taliban are not sharing info, about incidents, with media& then claim that the info released by other sources are in correct.
#Taliban Kabul Police spokesman still didn't release info about yesterday's explosion, but claims that the IEA "Security agencies are the only source of accurate info about security incidents."
The wrong #casualty_figures came 1st from @ambmansoorkhan, who now deleted that tweet.
#Kabul Police Spokesman:
Two civilians were killed and some others (not specified the number) were wounded in yesterday's #explosion, during #Cricket tournament, in the Kabul International Cricket Stadium, in Kabul City. @emergency_ngo received 13 wounded.
According to Naseeb Khan, the CEO of the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB), four civilians were wounded in today's #explosion in Kabul International #Cricket Stadium in PD8 of #Kabul City.
Some other sources on social media wrote that one person was killed& 10 others were wounded.
According to @emergency_ngo, 13 victims of #cricket_stadium#explosion in #Kabul were taken to the Emergency hospital today. One was dead on arrival& 12 wounded patients were hospitalised. #Taliban earlier said that only 4 people were wounded in the blast.
Oh no! @emergency_ngo deleted its first tweet and now confirmed that all 13 victims of Kabul explosion were wounded. One received outpatient care& 12 hospitalised.
In the previous tweet, @emergency_ngo said one victim was dead on arrival & 12 were wounded.
Pro-TB sources reported that an #ISKP hideout was targeted by the #Taliban in Pul-e Khumri City of #Baghlan & a clash is ongoing in the area.
Meanwhile, pro-NRF sources said that the house of a former Afghan Local Police (#ALP) commander was raided by the TB in Pul-e Khumri City.
#Taliban's spokesman for Ministry of Interior, @Takor786, confirmed that an #ISKP hideout was targeted by the IEA security forces in #Baghlan.
Some short video clips from the incident scene, available in SM, are showing that clashes continue in the area.
#UNAMA:
"Despite an overall, significant reduction in armed violence, between mid-August 2021& mid-June 2022, UNAMA recorded 2106 #civilian_casualties (700 killed, 1406 wounded). The majority of civilian casualties were attributed to attacks by the #ISKP. unama.unmissions.org/un-releases-re…
On 17 August 2021, TB announced an amnesty for former govt. officials&ANSF members. This amnesty does not, however, appear to have been consistently upheld. UNAMA recorded at least 160 extrajudicial killings of former govt&security officials by TB members in the reporting period.
UNAMA’s report highlights specific concerns with respect to 2 bodies within the TB govt.– the de facto Ministry of Propagation of Virtue&Prevention of Vice (that limit the human rights& freedoms, in particular of women& girls) and the de facto General Directorate of Intelligence.
Following a raise in the #propaganda campaign of the #ISKP against the #Taliban, a booklet written by a Jordanian-Palestinian Jihadi ideologue, Abu Muhammad al-#Maqdisi, in support of the Taliban's Emirate in December 2021, resurfaced in the social media.
In his booklet named "suspicions of extremists related to the Emirate of the Taliban”, al-Maqdisi rejected the accusations of some groups incl ISKP, that calling the TB apostates or even disbelivers for their relations with un-Islamic countries, not destroying statues&shrines,...
...implementing the constitution of King Zahir Shah's time, not allowing Jihadi groups such as AQ, to continue Jihad by using AFG's territory and following Dewbandi School of Islam.
For all 5 accusations against the TB, al-Maqdisi provided Sharia-based rejection reasons (Fatwas).
