10/17/2017 (Afghanistan) - According to incoming local media reports on Tuesday, 17 October, at least 91 Taliban militants have been killed by the national armed forces in a series of coordinated operations countrywide including the regions of Nangarhar, Paktia, Paktika, Logar, Kandahar, Uruzgan, Ghor, Herat Badghis, Balkh, Kabul and Helmand areas. At least seven different corps reportedly coordinated these nationwide counter-insurgency operations.
Those in the country are advised to exercise a high level of caution given the current security situation. Operations within these provinces should only be undertaken with the strictest possible security risk management procedures in place. Clients should use a vetted security provider that offers close protection and emergency response services and closely liaise with local security forces.
