Following the fall of Kabul on Aug. 15, several thousand fighters from local militias and the remnants of army and special forces units have massed in Panjshir. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said the group's fighters had entered Panjshir and taken control of some territory. The spokesman said NRFA forces had also killed large numbers of Taliban fighters on two fronts since clashes first broke out earlier in the week. It was not possible to verify the numbers of fighters on either side killed. The Taliban says the Panjshir valley is surrounded on all four sides and a rebel victory is impossible.
