A spokesperson of Afghanistan’s resistance front was killed during the ongoing fighting in Panjshir, according to several reports.
Fahim Dashty was a senior member of the Jamiat-e-Islami party and a member of the Federation of Afghan Journalists.
Dashty regularly tweeted updates from Panjshir as the Taliban pressed in on opposition forces. On Sunday, Dashty wrote on his Twitter account that Taliban fighters had been practically driven out of the region.
The Taliban have now claimed that their forces have entered its Panjshir provincial capital.
The leader of the resistance forces, Ahmad Massoud, on Sunday said they are ready to stop fighting and start negotiations if the Taliban leave the province, reports said.
