The city of ‘Gelan’ in Afghanistan's Ghazni province has also been reported as the scene of heavy fighting between government forces and Taliban in the city in a way that casualties have been inflicted on both sides.

Also, an army helicopter was targeted and destroyed by a rocket at an army base in Andar District in Afghanistan.

The escalation of conflict and suspension of peace talks in Doha have raised concerns about the complete failure of peace talk and this situation and legacy of 20 years of US and Western presence darken Afghanistan's future.
