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.

In the past week, 10 civilians and 114 pro-government security forces were killed, including three United States service members who died when a vehicle laden with explosives targeted their convoy near Bagram Air Base. The deadliest assault took place in Kandahar Province, where the Taliban attacked border-force outposts in the Srochahan area of Shorabak District, killing 18 soldiers. In Badghis Province, 66 members of the Afghan security forces surrendered to the Taliban in two different incidents, as intense fighting over control of Bala Murghab District continued to escalate.
