1. On 19 September, following weeks of inactivity, #ISKP once again started reporting attacks from #Afghanistan.
That day alone, it claimed seven operations—this is the largest number of attacks reported by #ISKP in a single day in years.

2. This spate of attacks has so far focused on what #IS is calling the ‘apostate #Taliban militia.’
It appears to signal the start of the new, reinvigorated #Afghanistan campaign that #IS first said was on the horizon back in August.

3. Notably, aside from #ISKP’s two attacks on #KIA at the end of August, it had been entirely inactive in #Afghanistan until this week.
The last time it went dark for that long was in June/July 2020.

Ennesimo thread sull’#Afghanistan. Stavolta sul serio non mi attendo tante notizie oggi, però conviene lo stesso riportarle in un thread unico. ⤵️
Qualcuno fa notare che una delle cause del caos enorme degli scorsi giorni possa essere stata la decisione affrettata degli americani di abbandonare #Bagram, un aeroporto molto più grande e difendibile di quello di #Kabu, ma anche più lontano da raggiungere dalla città va detto.
Gli americani hanno evacuato fino a ieri circa 1.100 americani con le loro famiglie ed attorno a 2.000 civili afghani che hanno ottenuto il SIV, visto speciale per immigranti dato a coloro che hanno collaborato con le truppe americane durante la missione in Afghanistan.

#Afghanistan 🇦🇫: thread aggiornamenti situazione dall’Afghanistan, sera del 14 agosto 2021.
Continua la fuga di uomini e mezzi dell’esercito afghano verso l’Uzbekistan dopo la caduta di Mazar-i-Sharif nelle mani dei #Talebani.
Aerei americani hanno condotto raid aerei contro le forze talebane presenti nell’aeroporto di #Kandahar nel sud del Paese.
Catastrophic 72hrs for #Afghanistan, as the #Taliban capture 5 provincial capitals -- taking military bases, airports, emptying prisons etc.
The U.S. (then NATO) withdrawal is clearly an utter disaster, but that ship has sailed -- muted response from #Washington says everything.

1. Most #Afghanistan analysis of late has been preoccupied with the strategic inroads being made by the #Taliban.
Meanwhile, #IS’s affiliate in #Afghanistan, #ISKP, has been experiencing a dramatic resurgence in the country, one that has gone almost entirely under the radar.

(While devastating, these ops are small compared to the 4 biggest of 2020, in which more people were killed than all other attacks combined since Jan '20.)

Both a dramatic failure of Afghan/coalition security forces & indicative of the considerable support/organsational presence of IS-K.
