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 55 pro-government forces and 54 civilians were killed over the last week of fighting in Afghanistan. The deadliest of the attacks took place in Takhar Province, where the Taliban attacked and captured two security bases in Ishkamish District, killing 24 soldiers and 13 police officers. Six police officers were also wounded. Both bases were later recaptured by reinforcements, which arrived for backup belatedly. In Logar Province, nine civilians were killed in an American airstrike on the Khaki Dag area of the Baraki Barak District, where a community of Kuchi nomads lived. The United Nations confirmed the casualties.
