The security forces have killed the most dangerous shadow governor of the Taliban group in Badakhshan province.

Nasrat Rahimi, a spokesman for the Ministry of Interior confirmed that the security forces have killed Qari Fasiuddin, the shadow governor of Taliban for Badakhshan.

Rahimi further added that Qari Fasiuddin was the most dangerous shadow governor of Taliban.

The Taliban group has not commented in this regard so far.

The security situation in Badakhshan province has deteriorated during the recent months.

Taliban militants are active in some remote districts of Badakhshan and often conduct terrorist related activities.

Meanwhile, the Afghan forces routinely conduct counter-terrorism operations against the anti-government armed groups in this province.

The U.S. forces also conduct regular airstrikes in restive parts of the country to suppress Taliban and other anti-government militants.
