Kabul: The Afghan forces thwarted the Taliban’s attack on India-built Salma Dam in Herat province, said the Afghan government, adding that the terror group has “suffered heavy casualties and fled the area as a result of counter-attacks”.
In a tweet, Afghan defence ministry spokesperson Fawad Aman said Taliban terrorists attempted an attack on Salma Dama, popularly known as the India-Afghanistan friendship dam, on Tuesday night.
Last month too Salma dam was targeted by the Taliban rockets and the rockets and artillery shells have landed close to the dam, which has not been hit.
