The following report compiles all significant security incidents confirmed by New York Times reporters throughout Afghanistan from the past seven days. It is necessarily incomplete as many local officials refuse to confirm casualty information. The report includes government claims of insurgent casualty figures, but in most cases these cannot be independently verified by The Times. Similarly, the reports do not include Taliban claims for their attacks on the government unless they can be verified. Both sides routinely inflate casualty totals for their opponents.

At least 143 pro-government forces and 52 civilians were killed in Afghanistan during another bloody week of fighting amid ongoing peace talks in Doha. The deadliest attack took place in Kunduz Province, where the Taliban attacked two military bases and several security outposts in Imam Sahib District, capturing one base and three security outposts in seven hours of fighting. At least 20 members of the security forces were killed, 15 were wounded and another 10 were taken prisoner. On Sunday, a Taliban car bomb killed 12 people in Ghazni City. Nearly 200 people were also wounded in the explosion, including more than 100 children.
