At least 121 Afghan civilians were killed and 336 more were wounded in Taliban attacks in 29 provinces over the past two weeks, the Afghan Ministry of Interior said on Thursday.
The majority of the casualties occurred in Kandahar, Baghlan, Nangarhar and Logar provinces, according to the Ministry of Interior.
“The Taliban as part of their continued crimes have martyred 121 civilians and wounded another 336 people. The Taliban act in defiance of their commitments against the people of Afghanistan,” said Tariq Aryan, a spokesman for the Ministry of Interior.
But the Taliban has rejected the government’s figures about the civilian casualties.
