MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The Taliban* have released some 1,000 inmates after seizing six Afghan cities in recent days, TOLOnews reported on Thursday, citing prison authorities.
In Kunduz, the militants freed 630 inmates, including 13 women and three foreigners, with at least 180 of the released prisoners being Taliban militants. In Nimruz province, 350 inmates were released, with 50 Taliban militants among them.
The Afghan government said it will arrest all the released inmates once it takes control of the territories.
In recent days, the radical group claimed to have captured a number of provincial capitals, with the first one — Zaranj, the centre of Nimruz — said to be seized on Friday. Zaranj has become the first provincial capital to fall to the militants since 2016.
