Amid the ongoing efforts to start the peace negotiations in Doha, the Taliban and the Afghan government are blaming each other for conducting big operations against each other and ramping up violence.

The Afghan government said the Taliban has initiated at least 7,000 military attacks over the last six months, which have killed and wounded nearly 3,500 civilians. But the Taliban rejected these numbers, saying that the government’s major operations in nine provinces have increased the conflicts with the group.

Bamiyan and Panjshir, which are among most secure provinces in the country, have witnessed Taliban attacks in some of areas parts in the last two days.
