On Monday, the Taliban shot and killed a former Afghan National Army soldier identified as Salahuddin in Takhar's Rustaq district.

Residents confirmed the killing. In another incident on the same day, two former soldiers were killed in Balkh's Marmol district, while none of them had a link to any resistance group since the Taliban took control of Kabul.

At least eight Taliban, including their commander, were killed in an ambush of resistance forces in Hesa Awal district of Panjsher province. NRF opposition group claimed responsibility for the attack.
