About 700 Taliban fighters, some claiming to represent the Islamic State, overran and burned several villages. Ahmadullah Ahmadi, provincial deputy governor, said at least 15 civilians were beheaded. He added that the insurgents burned houses, killed livestock and destroyed wheat crops.
According to a provincial leader, the assault came after a week of fighting about 60 miles southwest of the capital, Kabul.
Ahmadi added that local police were running out of ammunition, and the district could fall to the Taliban without air support from the government.
