Flag hoisted in Kandahar as city falls to Taliban

In a video tweeted by a Taliban spokesperson on Saturday (August 14) a large crowd of people and cars can be seen around the gate as two people start to hoist a flag on the flag pole on top of the Eid Gah Darwaza (gate).

Reuters was unable to independently verify the date of the video, but a government official confirmed on Friday (August 13) that Kandahar had fallen to the Taliban.
