Afghanistan Latest: Taliban Launch Multiple Attacks in Kabul and East of Country (New York Times)
The Taliban staged multiple and sustained attacks across Kabul and eastern Afghanistan on Sunday hitting the heavily secured diplomatic neighborhood of Kabul and the Parliament area as well as Afghan government installations in at least two provinces.
A NATO spokesman confirmed multiple attacks had occurred across Kabul, potentially in as many as seven locations.
The attack in the city began at about 1:35 p.m. and was still under way more than an hour and 15 minutes later. The Kabul police said that two attacks were under way, one near the Zanbak Square entry to the Presidential Palace and one near Parliament.
