Zabul�s Shinkai district police headquarters, district building and bazaar have been seized by the Taliban, sources told Ariana News Saturday morning.

According to sources, Afghan National Army soldiers based in the district withdrew to another ANA base on the outskirts of Shinkai.

This, said sources, led to the Taliban seizing the district on Saturday morning.

This brings the total number of districts in Zabul under Taliban control to five - out of 10.

According to sources, the Taliban also captured a large ANA base at Hassan Karez in the Shah Joy district of the province, and seized a large amount of weapons, ANA vehicles, armored vehicles and other military equipment.
