Several attacks 

Since taking over the country in 2021, the Taliban say they
have focused on restoring security to the war-torn nation.

However, in recent months a number of attacks have taken
place and the United Nations has said security is deteriorating.

In the western city of Herat, a large blast hit near a
mosque in September, killing 18 people including a pro-Taliban
cleric and in July, an attack on a Al Farooq 207 Corps vehicle
killed two security force members.

Several attacks have also taken place in Kabul, including an
explosion this month that hit a mosque in the vicinity of the
heavily fortified interior ministry compound, killing four
people and wounding 25.

It was not clear who behind those attacks. Other attacks in the country have been claimed by Daesh terror group.
