This was partly the result of at least five AAF airstrikes during= the course of the fighting. <br /><br />Last night, OAG members condu= cted a series of attacks on ANSF positions in Koh Gunbad, Ghora and Kilak a= reas. Within approximately two hours, OAG members overran these positions, = determining ANSF to withdraw to <a href=3D"https://goo.gl/maps/ZvXuxo5rZ3KB= opeq6">the Chaghsay area</a> and the <a href=3D"https://goo.gl/maps/pgzT2ws= miaDcFuNL8">Arab Khana area</a>, with the frontline moving very close to th= e city centre. Armed clashes are ongoing between Kilak and Chaghsay areas a= s of the time of writing. The intensity of the clashes is evident in a very= high number of combatant casualties. At least 18 PGM and ANSF member= s were killed, including the Chief of Police for Qush Tepa District, while = 24 more PGM members were wounded. On the side of the armed opposition, at l= east 45 OAG members were killed and 50 more were wounded, with the OAG casu= alties largely the result of AAF airstrikes, with at least 13 airstrikes co= nducted in the three locations. <br /><br />The OAG attacks may be con= strued as a last push before a likely return of former first vice-president= Abdul Rashid Dostum to Shibirghan to lead a counter-offensive in an attemp= t to push the armed opposition out of the city. For the time being, Dostum = is in Kabul, likely requesting support from President Ashraf Ghani and secu= rity sector ministers for this possible counter-offensive. The outcome of t= hese discussions is difficult to predict, however, in a speech to a joint s= ession of the Afghan Parliament on 02 August, the President stated that all= militias should fall under NDS command. </div> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width=3D"23%" valign=3D"top" style=3D"font-weight: bold; width:2= 3.52%; border:none; font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; co= lor:#15274B; background: #dcdcde;"> <div style=3D"margin: 12.5px 25px; padding: 0 12.5px 0 0;">UPDATED = ADVICE</div> </td> <td width=3D"63%" valign=3D"top" style=3D"width:63.58%; font-size: 1= 2.0pt; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; line-height:115%; background: #dc= dcde;"> <div style=3D"margin: 12.5px 25px; padding: 0 0 12.5px 0; border-bo= ttom:1px solid #C1C2C4;"> <div style=3D"text-align: justify;">The previous advisory remains i= n place, and is extended towards the city centre. <br /><br />INSO Nor= th will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates by email as r= equired. </div> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width=3D"23%" valign=3D"top" style=3D"font-weight: bold; width:2= 3.52%; border:none; font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; co= lor:#15274B; "> <div style=3D"margin: 12.5px 25px; padding: 0 12.5px 0 0;">INITIAL = REPORT</div> </td> <td width=3D"63%" valign=3D"top" style=3D"width:63.58%; font-size: 1= 2.0pt; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; line-height:115%; "> <div style=3D"margin: 12.5px 25px; padding: 0 0 12.5px 0; border-bo= ttom:1px solid #C1C2C4;"> <div style=3D"text-align: justify;"><strong>As of 04 August, 2000 h= rs:</strong> At approximately 1930 hrs, ANSF members attacked an OAG member= s' position in the Ghora area with SAF and RPGs. An armed clash is ongoing.= AAF helicopters are in the air and airstrikes are highly likely.<br /><br = />The attack is not part of a planned operation was likely precipitated by = the arrival, this afternoon, of former first vice-president Abdul Rashid Do= stum, in Afghanistan, crossing through the Hairatan border. Dostum is expec= ted to fly into soon Shibirghan. The arrival served to boost the morale of = both ANSF and PGM members in Shibirghan, and it is likely that government f= orces begin pushing back OAG members from the southern outskirts of the cit= y.<br /><br />Additionally, in Khwaja Du Koh District, approximately 40 IEA= members, led by commander Qari Ansar, surrendered to ANSF, in the Koh Gunb= ad area. Reportedly, Ansar had been in contact with Dostum prior to the sur= render, and further groups of armed opposition in Jawzjan are expected to s= urrender tomorrow. A financial compensation could not be confirmed at the t= ime of writing. Possibly also related to Dostum's arrival, in the early eve= ning today, around 150 OAG members left the Qara Kent area, approximately 8= km south of Shibirghan City, back to Sar-e Pul District. <br /><br />= Elsewhere in southern Shibirghan, late last night, in the Koh Gunbad area, = OAG members attacked an ANSF outpost with SAF and RPGs, killing four PGM me= mbers and wounding six others. Subsequently, AAF conducted at least nine ai= rstrikes using HMGs targeting an OAG in an open area, and killing 29 OAG me= mbers and wounding 46 others. The clash ended early morning today at around= 0400 hrs. Earlier, at approximately 1800 hrs on 03 August, in the Marghab = area, AAF conducted at least two airstrikes using HMGs killing two OAG memb= ers.<br /><br />Meanwhile, no clashes or IEA advancement were recorded in S= ofi Qala. This may be related to the fact that, on 03 August, AAF conducted= at least five airstrikes using HMGs, targeting a group of OAG members, and= killing 21 OAG members and wounding 7 others, which amounted to close to a= third of the IEA members deployed there. Five - abandoned - civilians hous= es were also damaged. </div> <br />The previous advisory remains in place. <br /><br /> <div style=3D"text-align: justify;"><strong>As of 03 August, 1230 hrs:</str= ong> Approximately 100 OAG members have now taken position in the <a href= =3D"https://goo.gl/maps/v7zCGVPztcTkBBht5">Sofi Qala area</a>, approximatel= y 4 km northeast of Shibirghan City at around 2000 hrs.

However, as yet, no armed clashes have been reported. <br /><br />M= eanwhile, to the south of Shibirghan, AAF helicopters are in the air and ai= rstrikes are very likely in the coming hour. In addition to the information= in the previous update, yesterday evening, southern Shibirghan recorded th= e second highest-casualty incident involving airstrikes in July, in the Has= san Taben area. At least 19 airstrikes using aerial bombs and HMG killed 45= OAG members and wounded 23 others, as well as damaged OAG firearms stocks.= </div> <div style=3D"text-align: justify;">The previous advisory remains in place.= In addition, NGOs are advised to avoid the Sofi Qala area, due to the like= lihood of OAG attacks or AAF airstrikes to the northeast of Shibirghan City= . </div> <br /> <div style=3D"text-align: justify;"><strong>As of 03 August, 0800 hrs:</str= ong> At around midnight, OAG members attacked two ANSF positions in the Koh= Gunbad and Marghab areas, using RPGs and SAF. Sporadic firing is still ong= oing. AAF helicopters were briefly in the air last night, but did not condu= ct airstrikes. <br /><br />Since the armed clashes started in Koh Kunb= ad, nine OAG and four PGM members have been killed, and four OAG and five P= GM members have been wounded. In the Marghab area, five OAG and two PMG mem= bers have been killed, while six OAG and four PMG members were wounded. The= attacks appear slightly larger than previously, and, although the OAG memb= ers have not been able to advance territorially thus far, they may be the o= nset of a more serious OAG effort to challenge government control in the ci= ty. </div> <br />The previous advisory remains in place.<br /><br /> <div style=3D"text-align: justify;"><strong>As of 02 August, 1500 hrs:</str= ong> AAF helicopters are in the air above the Hassan Taben Ghazgi and Morgh= ab areas, and airstrikes are expected in the coming hours. <br /><br /= >Over the course of yesterday, AAF conducted at least seven airstrikes in b= oth areas, resulting in 13 OAG members killed and four more wounded, contin= uing a high tempo of ANSF air activity in the south of Shibirghan City whic= h has thus far prevented OAG members from advancing further north. <br= /><br />The air support and supplies recently shipped by air have given a = boost to ANSF and PGM morale at the local level, and strong resistance to O= AG attempts to conduct an assault on the city is likely. This high level of= airstrikes in a province that had hardly seen AAF activity prior to July a= lso reflects, however, a growing concern that such an attack might take pla= ce. Indeed, aside from the earlier reported approximately 200 IEA members a= rriving to support the OAG effort from Sar-e Pul, OAG members have also rep= ortedly arrived from Faryab, Ghor, Badghis and other districts of Jawzjan t= o the southern outskirts of the provincial capital.</div> <br />The previous advisory remains in place.<br /><br /> <div style=3D"text-align: justify;"><strong>As of 01 August, 1200 hrs:</str= ong> AAF continued to conduct airstrikes in the Hassan Taben Ghazgi and Gho= ra, with the areas each recording at least four airstrikes mid-morning and = in the late afternoon on 31 July. Ten OAG members were killed and four more= were wounded as a result. Much higher OAG casualties - 37 OAG members kill= ed - resulted from a series of airstrikes north of Shibirghan, in Khwaja Du= Koh District. <br /><br />OAG members conducted only one attack, duri= ng the night of 31 July, in the Koh Gunbad area targeting a PGM checkpoint = on the Shibirghan-Sar-e Pul Road, with the PGM response resulting in upward= s of 20 OAG casualties. However, there are strong indications that conflict= activity to the south of Shibirghan City will intensify in the coming 24-4= 8 hrs. Indeed, approximately 200 IEA members have arrived from Sar-e Pul Pr= ovince yesterday, and, while this could not be fully confirmed, may have th= e intention to conduct an assault on the city. </div> <br />The previous advisory remains in place.<br /><br /> <div style=3D"text-align: justify;"><strong>As of 31 July, 1245 hrs:</stron= g> Conflict activity over the past two days was marked by a continued high = frequency of AAF airstrikes, which reached five such incidents within the s= pace of 24 hours on 30 July. These took place in Hassan Taben Ghazgi, Ghora= , and Marghab areas, all during the daytime. <br /><br />The most impa= ctful incident resulted in 21 OAG members killed and two more wounded as AA= F conducted several airstrikes using HMGs against a government-run school i= n the Hassan Taben Ghazgi area, which OAG members were using as a base. At = least 15 more OAG members died, and eight more were injured as a result of = AAF air operations in the past 24 hours. <br /><br />Meanwhile, perhap= s illustrative of the fluidity of the conflict on the outskirts of Shibirgh= an City, on 30 July, 10 OAG members were killed and two more were wounded b= y the detonation of an IED. A group of IEA members had emplaced the device = close to the gate of a garden in the Ghora area and was meant to target ANS= F. However, ANSF withdrew and the area was overrun by another group of IEA = members who were unaware of the IED. <br /><br /></div> <div style=3D"text-align: justify;">OAG advances closer to the centre of Sh= ibirghan City, while notable since the beginning of July and reflected in t= his reporting stream, appear to have slowed down as the tempo of AAF airstr= ikes rose. However, as of yet, ANSF have not attempted to recapture territo= ry lost to the armed opposition, and government forces appear more intent o= n causing OAG casualties and preventing further OAG advances. However, most= of the southern pro-government positions in the city are manned by Junbish= -affiliated PGMs, which are, reportedly, not being resupplied, meaning that= their ability to resist in the coming weeks may be contingent on governmen= t support. The IEA for the time being at least does not appear intent on ov= errunning the city in a large assault. </div> <br />The previous advisory remains in place.<br /><br /> <div style=3D"text-align: justify;"><strong>As of 28 July, 0930 hrs:</stron= g> AAF conducted a series of airstrikes in Hassan Taben Ghazgi, Tonukeya Uz= bekya, and Tonukeya Marghab on the evening of 27 July, killing 18 OAG membe= rs and wounding a further 21 OAG members. <br /><br /></div> <div style=3D"text-align: justify;">OAG members have taken cover in civilia= n homes in Hassan Taben Ghazgi.
