  • The 20th aid package of $32 million has arrived at the International Bank of Afghanistan. Total cash assistance to date is over $600 million.

  • Targeted searches continue in the city of Kabul and Badakhshan Province. Sources indicate most of the searches have been focused on former Afghan Army personnel who are thought to have worked in logistics.

  • The Taliban are sending several elders to Badakhshan to attempt to resolve disputes with opposition groups. They hope to reach a compromise with the NRF and others and are reportedly facing significant backlash from their own forces over the killing of prominent Taliban commanders over the previous two months.

  • The Ministry of the Interior will demand answers from leaders in Bamyan who allowed women to deface Taliban banners and protest the school ban for females. Sources stated that arrests are being called for but the local government has pushed back against legal action to avoid inflaming the situation further.
