The Islamic Emirate says that many attacks of Daesh have been prevented and strongholds have been destroyed.

The Islamic Emirate's spokesperson, Zabiullah Mujahid, added that efforts are being made to suppress this group in various parts of the country.

“Their extremely significant nests were destroyed in Kabul and other cities of the country. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is determined to eradicate all Daesh nests and dry out the roots that strengthen them,” Mujahid said.

This comes as Bilal al-Sudani, the leader of the Daesh branch in Africa, was recently killed in an airstrike by American forces, according to the US.

The White House has announced that Al-Sudani was responsible for financing Daesh affiliates around the world, including the Daesh branch in Afghanistan.

“The US military conducted a successful over the horizon counter-terrorism operation in northern Somalia that resulted in the death of Bilal Al-Sudani, a leader and enabler who for ISIS global network as well as well as approximately ten additional ISIS operatives. Sudani’s activities provided funding to sustain deadly capability of ISIS affiliates globally including ISIS Khorasan branch in Afghanistan one of ISIS's most lethal branches,” said Karine Jean-Pierre, White House Press Secretary.

"Daesh's activity and presence in Afghanistan are not without danger to the security of surrounding nations and the region, particularly those vulnerable countries, but the true danger and threat from this group is towards the people of Afghanistan,” said Asadullah Nadim, a military expert.
