HUNDREDS of fighters are reported to have died in bloody battles between the "Lion of Panjshir" resistance fighters and the Taliban as the terrorists attacked last free stronghold in Afghanistan.
Heavy fighting has been reported around the Panjshir Valley - an area just 80 miles north of Kabul that is regarded as an impenetrable natural fortress.
Casualty numbers remain uncertain on both sides - but it has been reported that the death toll is now in the hundreds as the bloodshed continues.
Resistance forces - officially titled the National Resistance Front (NRF) - have vowed to never surrender and fight to the last man as the Taliban attempt to take control of the last free bastion in Afghanistan.
Taliban officials had claimed the area had fallen - sparking wild celebrations in Kabul that left 17 people dead as fighters stupidly fired their guns into the air.
However, resistance sources have denied this and the valley is understood to still be standing against the Taliban.
The stronghold - which is protected by mountains - is said to be hanging in the balance.
