UN Experts Say ISIS Has Increased Its Operational Activities in Afghanistan
A group of UN experts announced that ISIS, which is the most serious terrorist threat in Afghanistan and the region, has increased its operational capabilities.
According to reports, the number of ISIS members and their families has been estimated to be between 4,000 and 6,000.
According to a report by the UN experts released on Monday, the group known as the Islamic State or Daesh still commands between five and seven thousand members throughout its former base in Syria and Iraq.
In their report, these experts emphasised that ISIS fighters are the most serious terrorist threat in Afghanistan today.
UN experts said that despite the significant losses in the leadership of the ISIS group and the reduction of its activities in Syria and Iraq, there is still a risk of its resurgence. The report noted that ISIS has reshaped its strategy and adapted to local populations.
Based on ISIS's strategy, the group has been careful to choose battles that are likely to result in less casualties.
