Taliban are constructing a “specialized military base” in the mountainous areas of Kandahar’s District 11 under direct orders from their leader, Hibatullah Akhundzada, two sources familiar with the matter told Amu on Monday.

The sources said the base is being developed in a remote, elevated location and is intended for strategic and security purposes. It is part of a broader effort by Akhundzada to consolidate his power base in Kandahar, sources said.
