At present, Bismillah is in Panjshir province, which is the only region of Afghanistan that is not under control of the Taliban.


Afghanistan's former acting minister of defence Bismillah Muhammadi on Friday said that resistance forces have recaptured three Afghan districts from the Taliban.

Bismillah Muhammadi took to his Twitter handle and tweeted that Pul-e-Hisar, Deh Salah and Banu districts of Baghlan have been recaptured by the resistance forces. The tweet read," Resisting the Taliban terrorists is our duty. Pul-e-Hesar, Deh Salah, and Banu districts in Baghlan have been occupied by the resistance forces. Resistance is still alive!"

According to the local reports, 40 Taliban terrorists were killed and at least 15 injured in the conflict. However, the Taliban have not commented on the incident yet. At present, Bismillah is in Panjshir province, which is the only region of Afghanistan that is not under control of the Taliban.
