(14 Aug 2021) Residents of Mazar-e-Sharif in northern Afghanistan feared for their safety on Friday as the Taliban launched a multi-pronged assault on the major city.
The insurgents engaged in heavy fighting on its outskirts on Saturday, according to Munir Ahmad Farhad, a spokesman for the provincial governor.
There was no immediate word on casualties.
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani had flown to Mazar-e-Sharif on Wednesday to rally the city's defenses, meeting with several militia commanders, including Abdul Rashid Dostum and Ata Mohammad Noor, who command thousands of fighters.
The Taliban have made major advances in recent days, including capturing Herat and Kandahar, the country's second- and third-largest cities.
They now control 18 of Afghanistan's 34 provinces.
