2:03Now PlayingThe United Nations Security Council held an urgent meeting on the situation in Afghanistan as the Taliban continue to attack civilian populations.
Speaking before the council, Afghanistan's ambassador, Ghulam Isaczai, pleaded for the world body to pressure the Taliban to engage in meaningful peace talks by using existing tools, including sanctions and existing U.N resolutions.
"Millions of people are now vulnerable to indiscriminate shelling death, injuries, destruction and displacement," Isaczai said. "Our cities and public infrastructure that we have rebuilt with your support over the past two decades are now exposed to unimaginable level of Taliban destruction."
The council's meeting comes hours after the Taliban ambushed and killed the director of Afghanistan's government media center on in the capital of Kabul, the latest killing of a government official just days after an assassination attempt on the country's acting defense minister.
