Last week, the Taliban claimed that Panjshir province has been taken under complete control' Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, said in a statement that the Taliban has captured Panjshir province.

However, fives days after all districts of Panjshir and the provincial centre were captured by the Taliban, a commander of the Resistance Front in a recorded video message said the Taliban’s presence in Panjshir does not mean the end of the war.
