 approximately 1500 hrs, AAF conducted at least one airstrike, killing 16 O=
AG members. <br /><br />In the Dahi Sawar area, the armed clash also ended =
at around 2230 hrs, this time with no casualties reported. <br /><br />Arme=
d clashes also took place last night in the <a href=3D"https://goo.gl/maps/=

ly midnight, with eight OAG members killed and six ANSF members wounded, in=
cluding the ANA brigade commander and Qurban Shah, a mid-level PGM commande=
r affiliated to former provincial governor Atta Mohammad Noor. In Khasa Paz=
, AAF conducted at least one airstrike targeting an OAG gathering in the ar=
ea, killing 14 OAG members. The OAG members were planning to move to Tokhta=
 Kalan,&nbsp; but this was prevented by the airstrike. In Nasir Khesraw Bal=
khi, the clash concluded at around 0020 hrs, with two ANSF members wounded =
and an unknown number of OAG casualties; this clash was harassing in nature=
. <br /><br />Finally, at around 0600 hrs this morning, OAG members fired a=
t least five mortars round towards <a href=3D"https://goo.gl/maps/Tb9nxb2CV=

 from the west of the camp and impacted open areas, causing no casualties o=
r damage.&nbsp;<br /><br />Further clashes in Dehdadi and Nahr-e Shahi can =
be expected in the coming 24-48 hrs.&nbsp;<br /><br />Meanwhile, a new ANA =
209 Corps commander was appointed last night, namely Zabiullah Mohamand, wh=
o used to command the 207 corps in the west of the country. His appointment=
 may alleviate some of the concerns with lack of leadership in the ANSF in =
the north.&nbsp;</div>								</div>
