Taliban and Afghan government both claim control over Ghazni city

Taliban and Afghan government both claim control over Ghazni city: 

Afghan officials said they were in control of Ghazni late Friday, August 10 with authorities in Kabul saying security forces were conducting a clearance operation targeting Taliban fighters who had taken up positions in residential homes.

But information about who controlled the city was difficult to confirm with power and mobile services cut to the area after the Taliban destroyed a telecommunications tower, according to Ghazni MP Shah Gul Rezaye.
