Night footage released by the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan captures an attack on a Taliban checkpoint in East Kabul, possibly marking the beginning of a new spring offensive in Afghanistan.

Unfortunately, this footage doesn't show us much. It was filmed at night on a third world cell phone, and as a result all we can see is occasional tracers flying into blackness and impacting with an unseen target. According to the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan, this video shows an attack being carried out against a Taliban checkpoint near Pole Charkhi in Eastern Kabul.

While the video makes it impossible to verify those claims, what it does do is mark the possible beginning of a new spring offensive in Afghanistan. I suspect that as the weather continues to warm up in that region, we will see more and more combat footage rolling out of the area.
