Undefined Explosive Device (UED) event in Ghor, Firozkoh area, Afghanistan on Mon 18th May 2026

Afghanistan Green Trend says it attacked a Taliban military recruitment centre in Firozkoh, the capital of Ghor Province, on May 18, using explosives planted inside the facility, reports Afghanistan International. The group released a video claiming responsibility for the attack. In a statement attributed to Afghanistan Green Trend, the group said: “Green Unit guerrillas skilfully planted explosive materials inside the Taliban army recruitment command in Firozkoh city, Ghor province, which were later detonated.” Afghanistan Green Trend said the exact number of Taliban casualties and the extent of the damage remain unclear but stressed that its attacks would continue “until Afghanistan is liberated”. This is the second time Afghanistan Green Trend, led by Amrullah Saleh, former Vice President of Afghanistan, has independently claimed responsibility for an attack against the Taliban through its official channels, separate from the National Resistance Front (NRF) of Afghanistan led by Ahmad Massoud. The group had previously claimed responsibility for an attack on Taliban patrol forces in Mazar-i-Sharif on April 21, 2026.
