“The Taliban continues to press its offensive on multiple fronts in the Afghan north, taking control of Kohistanat district in the once calm province of Sar-i-Pul after a police commander and his officers defected to the jihadist group. According to the Taliban, its forces ‘raised the white flag of [the] Islamic Emirate’ over the district headquarters and other government buildings earlier today.”
