However, leaders of opposing groups against the Taliban have denied that the province of Panjshire has fallen into the hands of the group that has already controlled most of the state.

Shamshad news agency reported that shootings in the air Friday in Kabul left 17 people dead, while 41 remained wounded. The Tolo agency provided similar figures, Reuters writes.

A hospital spokesman at Jalalabad, Gulzada Sangar, said at least 14 people have been injured by shooting in the air on a holiday sign in the province of Nangarhar.

Air shooting angered the main spokesman of the Taliban, Zaabidullah Mujaheded. “Avoid shooting in the air, and instead, thank God. Bullets can hurt civilians, so don't throw away”, he wrote on social networks.
