Details about Monday’s fighting in Badakhshan province are sketchy.
Deputy provincial police chief Sayed Hussain Safawi says Afghan police were deployed to Wardooj district after residents complained about violence and intimidation by the Taleban. The district is about 40 miles (65 kilometers) southeast of the provincial capital of Faizabad.
The Taleban claim they have kidnapped 30 Afghan police and torched 20 of their vehicles.
The deputy police chief said on Tuesday that authorities sent a team to the site to investigate. He confirmed some police have been killed and wounded but gave no details.
