Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said Panjshir, the last hideout of the "escapee enemy", was captured, and there were no civilian casualties. The resistance forces have denied the Taliban's claim.

" The hunt is on for those who fought us. We can still forgive them. The NRF militia gave 'negative answers' when the Taliban tried to negotiate. The Taliban caused no civilian casualties in the takeover," said Zabihullah Mujahid.
