Taliban seizes eighth provincial capital, Pul-e-Khumri in Baghlan

The Taliban has captured its eighth provincial capital in Afghanistan - this time in the city of Pul-e-Khumri, the capital of Baghlan province, which is north of Kabul.
Earlier, Fighters overran the city of Farah in the southwest after a fierce gun battle.
Afghan forces are also battling the Taliban to retain control of the provinces of Helmand, Kandahar and Herat.
But they are struggling to stop the armed group's rapid advance as US troops complete their withdrawal by the end of this month.
