In Afghanistan, the Taliban captured the provincial capital of Aybak Monday, overrunning the northern city without meeting any resistance. It’s the sixth provincial capital captured by the Taliban in just four days. Taliban fighters are reportedly moving in on northern Afghanistan’s largest city, Mazar-i-Sharif. Meanwhile, the United Nations said Monday the fighting in Afghanistan has killed at least 27 children since Friday — with over 1,000 civilians casualties in the last month.
