On November 10, 2018, Taliban fighters attacked Afghan Local Police checkpoints in Khaki Safed district, resulting in several hours of fighting between the opposing forces. During the course of the battle, Taliban gunfire killed eight civilians—four boys, one woman, and three men—and injured eight others, including two boys, one woman, and five men who were living in the area. This incident demonstrates how civilian populations suffer casualties when caught in firefights between military forces.
