In their efforts to get more media attention and further terrorize the Afghans, the Taliban has turned their guns on soft targets in big cities, including the capital of Kabul, according to Haseeb Sediqi, spokesman for the National Directorate of Security (NDS).
"The enemies have changed their tactics over the past couple of months and as part of the new tactic, the militants have intensified attacks in Kabul to get media attention," Sediqi said.
He said that while the militants have expanded their armed attacks in the capital, they have not abandoned their coordinated offensive in the provinces.
The Taliban fighters have conducted three suicide attacks against vehicles of army personnel in Kabul over the past couple of weeks, leaving 16 people dead and 40 others injured, including civilians, according to local media reports.
