SIGAR believes that this may have been due to the Afghan government and Taliban’s Eid ceasefires.

Armed clashes continued to cause most security incidents within the above category (61%) as per UN estimates.

The worrying trend is that of increase in suicide attacks which have increased by 38% since 2017. Even airstrikes have increased by 46%.

Specifically, UN expressed concerns in terms of security instability for the northern provinces of Afghanistan: Balkh, Faryab and Jowzjan provinces.
