Insurgents capture city 95 miles south of Kabul, the 10th provincial capital to fall in less than a week
The Taliban have captured the strategic city of Ghazni, 95 miles (150km) south of Kabul, as they continued to tighten their grip on the Afghan capital and the country’s president replaced his army chief.
The insurgent group had control of the entire city on Thursday morning, a senior local official confirmed to the Guardian, adding that they broke into a prison and released about 400 inmates.
