Reports emerging from Kunduz indicate that not only are residents trying to flee the city but that there has been a sharp increase in the price of food as shops largely remain closed.
In addition, residents say the main power station for the city has been torched – leaving Kunduz without electricity.
Residents and security force personnel also say the Taliban has control of large parts of the city and only the governor’s compound, the NDS headquarters and a few other government buildings are still in the control of security forces.
Insurgents have also reportedly warned civilians to leave certain areas. As a result a stream of civilians are reportedly trying to get out.
Clashes are also ongoing.
Hospitals in the city meanwhile said that over 200 wounded civilians have so far been admitted to the hospitals.
This comes after the Taliban launched coordinated attacks against Kunduz city on Sunday night.http://www.tolonews.com/en/afghanistan/27641-kunduz-in-the-dark-as-situation-deteriorates-
