Taliban shadow governor for Baghlan Obaidullah was killed in airstrikes in provincial capital city, Pul-i-Khumri city, the ministry said in a statement.

Taliban fighters launched their attack on Pul-i-Khumri city on Sunday, their second assault on a provincial capital in two days. The previous attack was on Kunduz city.
