Militant attacks have claimed lives of nearly 3,000 people across war-ravaged Afghanistan over the past seven months, Interior Ministry says.

This comes after Taliban militants and their associated militant groups carried out nearly 6000 attacks in different regions of the violence-wracked country.

Chief of the Afghan police forces at Afghan Interior Ministry, Gen. Salim Ehsas said on Tuesday that 2052 security personnel and 856 civilians have lost their lives in deadly bombings and assaults.

The senior official also added that more than 5,000 others were also injured as a result of the ongoing violence.

Roadside bombs and improvised explosive devices are by far the most lethal weapons Taliban militants use against Afghan forces, foreign troops, and civilians.

In late April, the Taliban announced the start of their annual “spring offensive” against US-led and Afghan forces, vowing a new wave of attacks across Afghanistan.

Sudan Bombings Video Exposes Horrors Of Army Campaign

Hosna Tutu was sitting next to the remnants of a burned house in the Sudanese village of Angola. Antonovs belonging to the Sudanese army had pounded the village, reducing furniture to scrap metal. “Just the other day they dropped bombs on me twice,” Tutu said. “My children and I are worn out and hungry. How am I going to feed my children. With what?”

Tutu is one of dozens of villagers in Sudan’s South Kordofan province, telling their story in a new film by Nuba Reports. The organization has documented the bloodshed in the region since fighting broke out between the Sudanese army and SPLM-N rebel fighters based in the Nuba mountains in June 2011.

According to the organization, Sudanese planes have dropped nearly 1,200 bombs on civilian targets since April 2012, killing more than 50 people. While the government says its campaign targets fighters, Nuba Reports’ tallies indicate that only 100 of the more than 1,000 bombs landed near a military target. Most of the attacks are carried out with Antonovs, old Russian cargo planes loaded with explosive devices.
