Since takeover of Kabul by the Taliban on 15 August, #ISKP claimed 28 high&low profile attacks mainly in Kabul, Nangarhar, Kunar&Parwan provinces.
While 2 attacks were recorded in 2nd half of Aug., both in Kabul, in Sep. there were 23 attacks& in Oct. up to now, the number is 3.

Distribution of all 28 attacks in provinces was as follow:
Nangarhar (Mainly #Jalalabad City): 17
#Kabul: 5
Kunar: 3
Parwan: 3
Types of #ISKP attacks: With exception of two Suicide & one Rocket attack (IDF), other attacks mainly included IED detonations, shootings & few ambushes.

#Targets of ISKP attacks:
While civilians were directly&indirectly affected by the ISKP attacks, the group mainly targeted Taliban in their all 28 attacks except the 2 against Kabul International Airport (one suicide&another an IDF attack, where Taliban were not primary targets).

The #casualties of the #ISKP attacks were different and ranging from no casualties in MIED detonations against fuel tankers to few in targeted killings and very high in the suicide attack. E.g. few hundreds people were killed& wounded in Kabul International Airport attack in Aug.

The historical trend of the number ISKP attacks in AFG is on average nearly 200 per year. The number of ISKP attacks in September is matching numbers of some previous months of the same year, but higher than averege per month in few previous years&n 2015, when ISKP newly started.

Before Taliban's takeover of Kabul, the ISKP targets mainly included ANSF members, govt. officials, Shias, Taliban, civil society activists& rarely members or gatherings of political& religious parties, but in the above reporting period, TB remained as the main target of attacks.
