MOSCOW (Sputnik) — May has become the most "volatile" month in respect of insurgency, with 1,026 security and terrorist incidents taking place, the report said.
After the Taliban attack on the city of Kunduz in September, the number of attacks declined as the national security forces started to act "more aggressively" against the militants. the broadcaster said.
Afghanistan is in political and social turmoil, with long-standing Taliban insurgency and other extremist factions operating in the country, such as Islamic State (ISIL, or Daesh in Arabic), which is outlawed in Russia and many other countries, taking advantage of the instability in the country.
In late 2015, US President Barack Obama said that the US forces would maintain presence in Afghanistan after 2016, due to the weakness of the country's army and growing terrorist threat.
Earlier this month, the Afghan Defense Ministry said it had set up a new special force to fight the Islamic State.
