At least two Afghan National Army (ANA) soldiers were killed in a Taliban attack on a check post in Sar-e-Pul province on Friday night, local officials said.
Mohammad Hanif Rezaee, a spokesman for Shaheen 209 Military Corps in Balkh province said the Taliban attacked an army check post in Balghali village in Sar-e-Pul province and killed two soldiers and wounded three others.
Rezaee said the attack lasted for more than thirty minutes.
He said the wounded soldiers were transferred to the Shaheen 209 Military Corps hospital where they are in a stable condition.
However, reports indicate that Taliban took three tanks with them but Rezaee rejected these claims.
Rezaee said that after the clash Taliban fled the area.
This comes after Rezaee said at least 14 Taliban were killed in army airstrikes in Sheram village in Sar-e-Pul province. Seven others were wounded.
