Afghan Liberation Front Launches Spring Attacks in Badakhshan
The Afghan Liberation Front (ALF) announced the start of its 'spring offensive' with an attack on a Taliban border watchtower in Baharak District. Local sources reported that the ensuing firefight and Taliban 'clearing operations' caused the displacement of 7,000 residents from the Qalatak area toward Faizabad. The ALF claims to have killed four Taliban members in the incident, which marks a significant escalation in armed resistance in northeastern Afghanistan.
