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 70 pro-government forces and 17 civilians were killed in Afghanistan during the past week. Casualties among pro-government forces increased compared to last week as the Taliban intensified their attacks in the north and west of the country. The deadliest attack occurred in Ghor Province where the Taliban attacked Posht Noor area in Dawlatyar District, killing 14 pro-government militia members and wounding two others. In Kunduz Province, an army outpost was bombed by an American airstrike in Ismail Qeshalq area of Imam Sahib District, killing six soldiers and wounding eight others. According to the American military, the airstrike was carried out to support a joint patrol on the ground that was taking machine-gun fire. The site was an outpost on the front line between Afghan forces and the Taliban.
