The Afghanistan Freedom Front (AFF) announced that it had killed three Taliban members and wounded two members of the group in an attack on the out post of Gate No. 4 of Bagram Airport on Thursday evening.

The statement said that Mullah Zakir, the Taliban's deputy commander, was killed in the attack at the Bagram Airfield. So far, the Taliban have not responded to the Afghanistan Freedom Front's claim.

Earlier, Afghanistan International had reported that the Taliban had transferred hundreds of people accused of being members of armed anti-Taliban fronts, such as the Afghanistan Freedom Front and the National Resistance Front, to Bagram prison.

Bagram prison is part of Bagram Air Base, which was held by the US-led international coalition for the past two decades and served as the main centre of the fight against the Taliban and ISIS.

It held hundreds of "dangerous" prisoners, including Taliban and ISIS commanders and fighters. With the withdrawal of international forces and the fall of the Afghan government, the Taliban captured the base and released the prisoners.

In September this year, sources told Afghanistan International that the Taliban had activated the prison and transferred a number of prisoners there. A source said that the Taliban had also transferred some of the former government's military prisoners to Bagram airfield.
