Assessments conducted by TOLOnews indicate that 250 Afghan security force members were killed and over 300 more were wounded in 220 attacks staged by the Taliban over the past three weeks in eleven provinces of the country.

The assessment indicates that the majority of casualties among the government forces occurred in the north and southeast regions of the country.

The Afghan government does not want to provide an exact detail about the casualties of the government forces, but insists that the Taliban’s casualties "are double" that of casualties among Afghan forces.

Under the US-Taliban peace agreement, which was signed in Doha on February 29, the Taliban committed to not stage attacks on the key highways and provincial capitals. However, over the recent days, Zabul-Kandahar, Baghlan-Samangan and Kabul-Nangarhar highways have witnessed massive attacks by the Taliban.
