								<div style=3D"text-align: justify;"><strong>As of 11 May, 1115 hrs:=
</strong> The armed clash has now ended. The clash was ongoing until the ev=
ening hours of 10 May, with sporadic SAF from both sides reported throughou=
t the day. No further advancements from either side were observed, and terr=
itorial control was not challenged.&nbsp;<br /><br />At approximately 2100 =
hrs on 10 May, reinforcements of around 200 ANSF members arrived at Nerkh D=
AC from Maydan Shahr District. Shortly after the arrival of reinforcement, =
OAG members withdrew from the area and no clashes have been reported since.=
 The ANSF reinforcement cleared two IEDs during the response and remains in=
 Nerkh DAC.&nbsp;<br /><br /></div>
<div style=3D"text-align: justify;">OAG members enjoy freedom of movement w=
ithin Nerkh District and the periphery of the DAC, with ANSF controlling th=
e DAC and main roads leading into the DAC area. OAG freedom of movement mos=
t likely allowed OAG members to position themselves strategically around th=
e DAC in preparation for the attack.&nbsp;<br /><br /></div>
<div style=3D"text-align: justify;">ANA controls outposts and checkpoints a=
round the DAC, including checkpoint on the main roads leading into the DAC =
and 360 degrees around the DAC area. ANP controls the DAC area, including t=
he DAC and ANP HQ compound (one compound).<br /><br /></div>
<div style=3D"text-align: justify;">The attack was engaging ANA checkpoints=
 on the north, east, south and west of the DAC area while simultaneously en=
gaging the DAC and ANP HQ.&nbsp;<br /><br /></div>
<div style=3D"text-align: justify;">The tempo of the attack was relatively =
low throughout, with only sporadic SAF from both sides. While it is unknown=
, the motive of the attack could have been to test ANSF ability to defend t=
erritorial control and conduct recognisance of ANSF response and reinforcem=
ents for future attacks, more than actually attempting to challenge territo=
rial control. As such, the armed clash could potentially resume during the =
day or possibly more likely after Eid at an increased intensity. However, n=
othing currently indicates an imminent intent to resume the attack.&nbsp;<b=
