KABUL -- Afghan security forces thwarted up to 70 potential attacks across the country during the three days of Eid ul Fitr, the Interior Ministry said Friday (June 7).

The enemy plotted 35 terrorist attacks in Kabul alone, said Nasrat Rahimi, a spokesperson for the Interior Ministry.

At least 11 civilians were killed and seven others wounded by terrorists in Logar, Helmand, Baghlan and Kapisa provinces during Eid, he added.

Earlier this month, Taliban leader Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada released a message rejecting the possibility of a ceasefire during Eid.
