Taliban fighters launched a three-pronged attack on Kunduz city early on Monday morning, triggering fierce clashes between the militants and government forces, police said.

"Kunduz city came under attack from several directions this morning, with Taliban using city streets as launch pads for their operation," Kunduz provincial police spokesman Sayed Sarwar Hussaini said.

He said government troops had repelled the attackers from some areas, but that fighting was still continuing at main entrances to the city, including the wealthy district of Imam Sahib.

He said some 20 insurgents had been killed, and that there had also been an unknown number of casualties among security forces.
