Kabul, Afghanistan: Cutting Afghanistan from bordering countries, the Taliban are capturing districts of important Nangarhar Province.
The office of the Governor of Nangarhar has confirmed the withdrawal of the security forces from the district centers, saying the troops relocated to a safer place.
