According to official sources, troops sought protection from neighbouring border forces to save their lives.
Violence in Afghanistan has been restored to frightening proportions, and Taliban have taken over parts of territory after the withdrawal of NATO troops.

In an agreement reached with the Taliban, US forces and NATO allies agreed to withdraw all troops on promise that they would not allow Al Qaeda and other extremist groups to operate in the area.
