The U.S. military bombs the Taliban for the first time after a peace agreement, or at 5:50 on March 5
U.S. forces stationed in Afghanistan have revealed that rebels in the Taliban have bombed the Taliban in allegedly attacking government security forces in southern Helmand Province. The bombing is expected to be the first after the peace agreement between the United States and the Taliban, and there is concern that the peace agreement will be affected.
A U.S. military spokesman stationed in Afghanistan said on Tuesday that the Taliban had bombed the Taliban in Helmand province in the south, alleging that it was successively attacking government security forces.
He emphasized that "air strikes are a defensive measure to curb the Taliban's attacks," and called on the Taliban to stop the attacks and maintain a peace agreement with the United States.
The U.S. and Taliban have just signed their first peace agreement, including a complete withdrawal of the U.S. military last month, following a military operation in Afghanistan following the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001. Seems to be the first time after.
The United States and the Taliban agreed last month to a one-week “cease-fire” measure to reduce violence, but Taliban attacks have continued sporadically in the southern and northern parts of the country, and air strikes by the U.S. military have been peaceful. In this form, the Taliban was suppressed in order to steadily implement the agreement.
The Taliban and the Afghan government are expected to hold a direct dialogue on October 10, but the Taliban's rebound is inevitable and concerns are being raised about the implications for a peace agreement.
