Taliban end partial truce as Afghan violence resumes

A deadly blast shattered a period of relative calm in Afghanistan on Monday and the Taliban ordered fighters to resume operations against Afghan forces just two days after signing a deal with Washington aimed at ushering in peace.

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack at a football ground in Khost in eastern Afghanistan, where three brothers were killed, officials told AFP.

The blast occurred around the same time the Taliban ordered fighters to recommence attacks against Afghan army and police forces, apparently ending an official "reduction in violence" that had seen a dramatic drop in bloodshed and given Afghans a welcome taste of peace.

Syrian government forces re-enter strategic town, Turkey vows to keep up strikes

ANKARA/AMMAN (Reuters) - Syrian government forces entered parts of a strategic rebel-held town on Monday, and Turkey said it would keep hitting President Bashar al-Assad's troops after ramping up operations in its biggest intervention yet into the Syrian civil war.

Turkey and Russia, which have come closer than ever to direct confrontation in Syria in recent days, traded threats over air space after Turkish forces shot down two Syrian government warplanes and struck a military airport.

Fighting has escalated dramatically in recent days in northwest Syria, where Turkey has sent thousands of troops and military vehicles in the last month to counter Syrian government forces' advances in the last remaining bastion held by rebels.

US troops to begin Afghanistan withdrawal within 10 days, Esper says

Defense Secretary Mark Esper notified the first U.S. commander in Afghanistan that his forces can proceed with plans to withdraw from the country on Monday.

Esper announced he had notified Gen. Scott Miller, the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, that Miller has Esper’s approval to begin pulling troops from the county. Esper described the order as a good-faith measure towards a U.S.-Taliban peace agreement during a Pentagon press conference.
