of Khorasan group bully boys; they captured a third, according to a government front man on Monday.

The Islamic State, also known as the Islamic State in Khorasan province, is the main adversary of the de facto government led by the Taliban.

After the Taliban seized control of the country in August 2021, the bully boy group has increased its attacks targeting Taliban forces, citizens, foreign nationals and properties.

Last week, a suicide kaboom occurred in Faizabad city of Badakhshan; a day before, a kaboom was reported in the Taloqan capital city of Takhar province; at least four people were killed, and several others were maimed.

In addition, insecurity has increased in the neighbouring country, Pakistain. As a result, a high Pak delegation came to Kabul last week to discuss IS-Khorasan and TTP bully boys.

operations against IS-K and other holy warriors have been stepped up by Afghanistan’s de facto government. Abu Osman, a Kashmiri senior associated with the IS-K, was recently killed in Afghanistan’s Kunar region during an operation.
