Kabul:

At least 3 people were killed, while several others were injured in Kabul due to a celebratory firing by the Taliban. The incident was reported late on Friday, by local Afghan news agency Asvaka. The Taliban had claimed they have taken control of the Panjshir valley and defeated the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan (NRFA). Meanwhile, several videos on social media also showed people rushing their relatives to hospitals.

Afghan news agency too shared a video of people taking their loved ones to hospital, after they were injured in Taliban air shooting.

The Taliban have claimed they are now in control of entire Afghanistan. "By the grace of Allah Almighty, we are in control of entire Afghanistan. The troublemakers have been defeated and Panjshir is now under our command," Reuters quoted a Taliban commander as saying.
