Kabul: Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) recently pushed back mass attacks by Taliban in several Afghanistan regions like Herat, Helmand, Takhar, and Kandahar as violence in the war-torn country continues ever since foreign forces started leaving the country.

The Taliban fighters on Friday entered the western city of Herat province and launched attacks on Afghan government forces’ outposts inside the city.
They had besieged the airport and a guard- Afghan police member- of UN’s compound in the city was killed, reports the news agency.
