- Afghanistan curfew imposed as Taliban militants advance
- The Afghan government imposed a curfew across almost all of the country on Saturday in an attempt to stop the Taliban from invading cities.
- Aside from the capital Kabul and two other provinces, no movement will be allowed between 22:00 and 04:00.
- Fighting between the Taliban and Afghan government forces has escalated over the past two months as international troops withdraw from the country.
- The militant group is estimated to have captured up to half of all territory.
- It has moved swiftly in the wake of the US withdrawal, retaking border crossings and another territory in rural areas.
- The Taliban - a fundamentalist Islamist militia who were pushed out of power by the US invasion nearly 20 years ago - has also seized key roads as it seeks to cut off supply routes.
- Its fighters have been closing in on a number of major cities, but have not yet been able to capture one.
