The Taliban is claiming it now controls the whole of Afghanistan after taking complete control of Panjshir province, the last area in Afghanistan being held by resistance forces.
A spokesman for the group, Zabihullah Mujahid, said the area had been “completely conquered” and a “number of people” were killed while the “rest fled”.
There has been no immediate response from Ahmad Massoud, the leader of the opposition group resisting Taliban forces.
