18 killed in Taliban attack in Afghanistan

KABUL, (Patria) - At least 18 people were killed in a Taliban attack in the western province of Badghis.

Sixteen Afghan soldiers and two civilians died in the attack, local officials said.

According to the statement, the Taliban planted a bomb on the body of a soldier, which exploded when others tried to retrieve the body.

After rejecting President Ashraf Ghani's request to extend a three-day ceasefire, declared to mark the end of the Muslim month of Ramadan, the Taliban resumed their combat operations.

On June 20, the Taliban killed at least 30 soldiers at a military base in Badghis.

A senior official in Kabul said the militants were trying to seize eight checkpoints in the province.
