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 48 pro-government forces and 18 civilians were killed in Afghanistan during the past week. The deadliest attack took place in Feroz Koh City, the provincial capital of Ghor Province, where the Taliban attacked a security outpost, killing nine security forces and wounding five others. In Faryab Province, the Taliban attacked the village of Kohi in Qaisar District, killing six civilians and wounding nine others. The village had no security presence, but was supportive of the Afghan government. This week, the American special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction released a new report confirming that the American military command in Afghanistan has halted regular assessments of how many people and districts the government and insurgents there control eliminating what has long been an important public measure of progress in the war.
