Kabul, Taliban shoot to celebrate: 17 dead and 40 wounded

At least 17 people died and another 40 were injured in Kabul, Afghanistan, due to Taliban shooting to celebrate the alleged victory over the Panshir Resistance. This was reported by Tolo News, citing sources from hospitals in the Afghan capital. Unconfirmed information speaks of another 17 dead in the same circumstances in Jalalabad. Last night several Taliban began firing into the air to celebrate the news of the victory in Panshir. But the news was denied by the Resistance, which says it continues to fight against the Taliban. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid had today warned not to shoot in the street. “Avoid shooting in the air and instead thank God.” .
