Pakistani Taliban commander Saifullah Badri of the Jamaat-ul-Ahrar (JuA) faction was killed during an attack on security forces in Khyber. Badri, active in Khyber & Orakzai, was a key operational figure. JuA senior leader Sarbakaf Mohmand confirmed his death on social media.

The trajectory of ISKP in Afghanistan after 2021 illustrates how its offensive momentum was contained through targeted operations. The group’s leadership losses in 2023 marked a turning point, limiting its capacity to function as a parallel actor to the Taliban. 8/8

In summary, after August 2021 ISKP’s attack campaigns—initially designed to challenge Taliban authority and establish influence—were substantially reduced. By 2023, ISKP’s operational profile had shifted from expansion toward efforts at survival. 7/8

It is evident from ISKP’s own literature that, since 2020, Khorasani had served as a key strategist behind the group’s shift from territorial warfare to clandestine urban operations. His elimination marked a major disruption to ISKP’s operations and organizational planning. 6/8

By early 2023, this strategy resulted in several targeted operations. In February, military chief Qari Fateh and IS India chief Ijaz Ahangar were killed in Kabul. The following month, Abu Saad Muhammad Khorasani—along with other senior figures—was eliminated in Mazar city. 5/8

After returning to power, the Taliban adopted a strategy that relied on ISKP defectors to gain access to the group’s leadership. These defectors were granted amnesty and various concessions, enabling them to assist in identifying ISKP’s command structures. 4/8

The Taliban had prior awareness of ISKP networks, particularly in Nangarhar, before August 2021. When ISKP launched deadly coordinated attacks in Jalalabad and Kabul on 18 September 2021, the Taliban responded swiftly, dismantling these networks by the end of that year. 3/8

Since Aug 2021, developments show that linking the Taliban’s campaign against ISKP solely to the assassination of Balkh governor Daud Muzammil is inaccurate. Muzammil’s death appears coincidental, while the elimination of ISKP leaders in 2023 reflected a longer-term process. 2/8

This thread outlines how the Taliban confronted ISKP in Afghanistan after August 2021. It reviews the group’s operational trajectory, Taliban responses, and the leadership losses that shifted ISKP from an expanding threat to a position of survival by 2023. 1/8

IS has claimed the Quetta suicide attack targeting Balochistan National Party leader Akhtar Mengal, naming the attacker as “Ali al-Muhajir.” It is the group’s first claimed suicide attack in Balochistan since March 2023. An earlier March 2025 attack on Mengal remains unclaimed.

In a rare statement, NRF leader Ahmad Massoud confirmed the death of a key commander in Baghlan’s Nahrin district, killed in a Taliban IBO. The acknowledgment underscores the commander’s importance within the group and marks a rare admission of losses by the NRF.
