It said that 56 Taliban members have moved into a small piece of Norwegian land in Kabul.
A twitter post said: “Reports the Taliban have moved into the Norwegian embassy in Kabul, where "the ambassador's wine collection...must be crushed," and kids' DVD and Christmas music CD were destroyed.
"But wooden skis with Kandahar bindings were carefully studied."
One picture showed the Taliban carefully looking at a wooden ski.
The Taliban during their previous stint in power in Afghanistan destroyed musical instruments as well as cassette tapes. Musicians have been persecuted during Taliban rule.
Since the Taliban's return to power, Afghan TV and radio stations have changed their programming to play Islamic songs exclusively.
