    THREAD. Afghan Special Forces, the elite fighters are on various frontlines across the country. I tagged along with these young men for some missions. Here is what happened in Kandahar today while they were on a rescue mission after spending the whole night on a combat mission.pic.twitter.com/HMTbOOtDqN

        The objective was to extract a wounded policeman trapped by Taliban insurgents on the outskirts of Kandahar city for the last 18 hours. The particular district is contested between the government and the Taliban.pic.twitter.com/97WUTtb8Ze

        I could feel the tension in the air as ASF were expecting an imminent attack from the Taliban. There was sporadic machine gun fire but all hell broke loose as the Humvees reached the extraction point.pic.twitter.com/TqnnqiuTUr

        Rocket propelled grenades (RPG) and other heavy weapon were used by the Taliban against the convoy resulting in the destruction of 3 Humvees. Gunners atop the Humvees swivelled wildly, aiming fire at suspected Taliban fighters who were hard to see.pic.twitter.com/tLppGPrcfL

        The Humvee in which I was travelling with other special forces was also targeted by at least 3 RPG rounds and other weapons. I was lucky to be safe and capture the visual of one of the rockets hitting the armour plate overhead.pic.twitter.com/wipJmmtupp

        The attack continued as Afghan Special Forces retreated after successfully carrying out the extraction. Caught in the middle of this ambush were several Afghans who were trapped while one of them was this boy.pic.twitter.com/rBm60wSUSV

        Hearing utterly shocking and tragic news about Danish’s death today. Life is so unpredictable. With a very heavy heart I wish him heavenly place and peace. It’s a big big loss to the world of photojournalism. Oh God! 😭
