The senior military leader of the Taliban movement, Hamdullah Mukhlis, was killed in two attacks by the terrorist organization "ISIS" on a military hospital in the Afghan capital, Kabul. The death toll from the two terrorist bombings rose to 22 dead and more than 50 wounded.

Officials said that the military leader of the Taliban movement, Hamdullah Mukhlis, was among those killed in two attacks by the terrorist organization "ISIS" on a military hospital in the Afghan capital, Kabul.

Mukhlis, a member of the Haqqani network and Taliban special forces, Badri 313, is the highest-ranking Taliban official to have been killed since the movement took power in Afghanistan in mid-August.

"When we received information that the hospital was under attack, Mawlawi Hamdullah (Mukhlis) commander of the Kabul unit immediately rushed to the scene," said the official in the Taliban's media apparatus.

"We tried to stop him, but he laughed, and we later found out that he was martyred in the fighting in the hospital," he added.

On Tuesday, the Afghan capital, Kabul, witnessed an explosion targeting the Sardar Muhammad Dawood Khan Military Hospital, the largest in the country, in an attack claimed by the "Khorasan Province" organization affiliated with the terrorist organization "ISIS", in a statement published by its channels on the "Telegram" platform.

"One of the fighters detonated his explosive belt at the hospital gate, before other fighters stormed the facility and opened fire," the statement said.

The attack began when a suicide bomber detonated explosives he was with near the entrance to the hospital, before armed men stormed the place.

In response to the attack, the Taliban deployed their special forces on the roof of the building in a helicopter seized from the former Afghan government, which was backed by the Americans.

The Afghan Tolo News channel quoted an (unnamed) security source as saying that after the two explosions, 5 armed men entered the hospital and clashed with Taliban forces.

According to the source, all the attackers were killed, while eyewitnesses said that patients and doctors tried to hole up in rooms on the upper floors when the shooting began.

The death toll from the two terrorist bombings that targeted a military hospital in the Afghan capital, on Tuesday, rose to 22 dead and more than 50 wounded, according to the Afghan Khama Press Agency.
