The increased number of applications to get new passports comes amid the ongoing confrontations between Afghan forces and the "Taliban", following the withdrawal of most foreign forces from Afghanistan.

Yesterday, the Afghan Ministry of Interior reported that 40 "Taliban" members were killed in a series of strikes in Afghanistan's eastern Paktika Province. 

On its part, the "Taliban" claimed that it had repelled an offensive by the Afghan army in northern Balkh Province, adding that seven Afghan soldiers had been killed.

This month, the “Taliban” Movement claimed that it took control over over 90% of the Afghan borders with its neighboring countries, but the Afghan Government denied these allegations.

On its part, the UN’s office in Kabul warned of the increasing number of civil casualties due to conflicts in Afghanistan in the first half of 2021. Moreover, the UN revealed that more than 5000 civilians, including women and children, were reported dead or injured.
