Armed resistance against the Taliban Regime is growing across Afghanistan, with AUF, AFF, NIF and ARF expanding operations across multiple provinces. Between 25 and 30 October, resistance groups conducted 19 attacks across 12 provinces, killing 22 Taliban Regime personnel and injuring 16. The rising frequency and geographical spread of these operations reflect persistent opposition to regime rule and mounting pressure on its security apparatus.
On 25 October, AUF conducted 6 attacks against Taliban Regime personnel in Ghor, Zabul, Ghazni, Kandahar and Badakhshan, killing 8 and injuring 7. Further operations in Parwan, Kapisa and Zabul targeted regime checkpoints, security personnel and intelligence operatives, including an intelligence operative killed in Zabul. Mullah Samar Gul, a key Taliban commander, was killed in a commando operation in Tagab, Kapisa. From 29 to 30 October, AUF conducted 3 attacks in Spin Boldak, Arghistan and Gardez, killing 3 Taliban personnel and destroying a Ranger vehicle.
AFF carried out attacks against Taliban Regime forces in Kabul and Kunar, killing 3 personnel and injuring 4. In Kabul, AFF fighters struck a vehicle carrying Taliban members in Qara Bagh, while in Kunar they hit a regime checkpoint in Asadabad. NIF intensified operations in Kabul and Samangan, killing 3 personnel in Kabul, including in Paghman district, and targeting a regime Ranger vehicle in Samangan, killing 1 and seriously injuring 3. ARF also killed a Taliban intelligence officer in Ghazni.
Afghan Green Trend obtained Taliban intelligence documents indicating that around 400 people in Laghman have taken up arms against the Taliban Regime. On 28 October, the group also attacked a Taliban logistics vehicle in Kahmard, Bamyan, setting it ablaze and warning its driver to abandon the regime. The group has a track record here, having earlier exposed senior officials of the Taliban’s intelligence directorate.
This is not an isolated spike. Only days earlier, resistance groups claimed ten attacks across seven provinces between 18 and 22 October. The pace is quickening and the map is widening.
The expanding resistance exposes the hollowness of the Taliban Regime’s rule. Operations across 12 provinces show that armed resistance remains active, organised and geographically dispersed. As AUF, AFF, NIF and ARF continue targeting regime personnel, intelligence networks and logistical assets, resistance is becoming an increasingly visible challenge to the Taliban Regime’s claims of stability.
