								<div style=3D"text-align: justify;"><strong>As of 31 July, 2100 hrs=
:</strong> Sar-e Pul City's outskirts remained relatively uneventful since =
the previous update, even as the IEA retained a presence in Kohna Bazar. Th=
is evening, at approximately 2030 hrs, OAG members attacked two ANSF outpos=
ts in the area, using RPGs and SAF, and a low-intensity armed clash is ongo=
ing as of the time of writing. The attack is assessed as harassing in natur=
e and is unlikely to develop into a larger assault in the short term.<br />=
<br /></div>
<div style=3D"text-align: justify;">Part of the reason for this relative lu=
ll in OAG activity on Sar-e Pul City's outskirts may be the reported depart=
ure of approximately 200 IEA members from Sar-e Pul to Jawzjan, to support =
the OAG's efforts in the south of Shibirghan City. As Sar-e Pul City is con=
sidered a comparatively easier target due to its small size and remoteness,=
 OAG efforts may concentrate elsewhere in the Northern Region in the near f=
uture. Nonetheless, due to the presence of both parties to the conflict in =
Khona Bazar and the likelihood of clashes, the risk of collateral casualtie=
s and damage for civilians remains significant.</div>								</div>

fire between the two sides on 17 and 24 July.&nbsp;<br /><br />OAG members =
have emplaced a series of RCIEDs on the Sar-e Pul-Shibirghan Road between S=
