The Taliban in Afghanistan announced the beginning of their fighting season or the 'spring offensive'.

What's the 'spring offensive'?

The announcement is an annual rite for Taliban and usually publicizes an escalation in violence. The proclamation of 'spring offensive' coincides with the start of spring, when snow melts and mountain passes open, permitting the group's fighters to travel more easily and launch offensives.
