**Armed Opposition Groups Report Increased Attacks on Taliban in Afghanistan**
*Afghanistan – August 2024* – Three anti‑Taliban coalitions — the Freedom Front, the United Front and the National Resistance Front (NRF) — say they have carried out at least 50 attacks across Afghanistan during the past month. According to statements released by the groups, the coordinated assaults have resulted in dozens of fatalities and injuries among Taliban forces and civilians.
The groups reported that the frequency of attacks rose sharply in August, coinciding with the approaching fifth anniversary of the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan in August 2021. The coalitions described the intensified campaign as part of a broader military strategy aimed at challenging Taliban authority ahead of the anniversary.
No independent verification of the casualty figures has been provided, and the Taliban has not publicly responded to the claims. The Afghan security situation remains volatile, with ongoing clashes between the Taliban government and various armed opposition groups.
