KABUL, Afghanistan: A group of Taliban militants attacked a police post in Baraki Barak district of Afghanistan’s Logar province on Tuesday morning, and killed six Afghan police officers.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack via a known Twitter account.
It comes a day after the Taliban militants killed 22 police officers and wounded eight others after ambushing a police convoy in the country’s Sari Pul province.
The Afghan interior minister Omar Daudzai on Tuesday told a gathering of security commanders that a lack of proper weapons was hampering the police and causing heavy casualties.
“Police do not have proper arms. The enemies attack police posts with heavy guns while police defend with AK47s,” he said.
