rs:</strong> ANSF managed to resist the OAG attacks last night, and there a=
re no changes in the frontlines as of the time of writing.&nbsp;<br /><br /=
>The Langar Khana area, the armed clash lasted until 0200 hrs. AAF conducte=
d at least four airstrikes, killing approximately 40 OAG members and damagi=
ng a large number of motorcycles, vehicles and weapons. Three PGM members w=
ere wounded during the armed clash. <br /><br />In the Tokhta Bala area, th=
e armed clash concluded at around 2300 hrs, after eight OAG members were ki=
lled, and four OAG and two ANSF members were wounded. Yesterday, at approxi=
mately 1500 hrs, AAF conducted at least one airstrike, killing 16 OAG membe=
rs. <br /><br />In the Dahi Sawar area, the armed clash also ended at aroun=
d 2230 hrs, this time with no casualties reported. <br /><br />Armed clashe=
s also took place last night in the <a href=3D"https://goo.gl/maps/yJSdRA9k=
kiBVPZad9">Puli Imam Bukri</a> and <a href=3D"https://goo.gl/maps/bWvj4vpCy=

=3D"https://goo.gl/maps/tuZ1eobhf67yqwzt9">Nasir Khesraw Balkhi</a> area in=
 Nahr-e Shahi. In Puli Imam Burki, the clash concluded at approximately mid=
night, with eight OAG members killed and six ANSF members wounded, includin=
g the ANA brigade commander and Qurban Shah, a mid-level PGM commander affi=
liated to former provincial governor Atta Mohammad Noor. In Khasa Paz, AAF =
conducted at least one airstrike targeting an OAG gathering in the area, ki=
lling 14 OAG members. The OAG members were planning to move to Tokhta Kalan=
,&nbsp; but this was prevented by the airstrike. In Nasir Khesraw Balkhi, t=
he 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 at leas=
t five mortars round towards <a href=3D"https://goo.gl/maps/Tb9nxb2CVazL8yp=
F9">ANA 209 Corps compound</a> in Dehdadi. The projectiles were fired from =
the west of the camp and impacted open areas, causing no casualties or dama=
ge.&nbsp;<br /><br />Further clashes in Dehdadi and Nahr-e Shahi can be exp=
ected in the coming 24-48 hrs.&nbsp;<br /><br />Meanwhile, a new ANA 209 Co=
rps commander was appointed last night, namely Zabiullah Mohamand, who used=
 to command the 207 corps in the west of the country. His appointment may a=
lleviate some of the concerns with lack of leadership in the ANSF in the no=
rth.&nbsp;<br /><br /></div>
<div style=3D"text-align: justify;">The previous advisory remains in place.=
&nbsp;<br /><br /></div>
<div style=3D"text-align: justify;"><strong>As of 09 August, 1845 hrs:</str=
ong> OAG members attacked ANSF outposts in Langar Khana area of Nahr-e Shah=
i District and Dahi Sawar area of Dehdadi District, the latter of which is =
located on the Mazar-e Sharif-Shibirghan Road.&nbsp;<br /><br />Since the i=
nitial SMS alert, armed clashes were also confirmed to be ongoing in the Pu=
l-e Imam Bukri area, along the Dehdadi-Chimtal Road.&nbsp;<br /><br />As of=
 the time of writing, ANSF are resisting, and AAF is active in both areas. =
Reports of a collapse of western frontlines could not be confirmed as of th=
e time of writing. The clashes are high-intensity and a large number of OAG=
 members were reportedly arriving over the course of today in Dehdadi and N=
ahr-e Shahi, with an aim to challenge ANSF control on the western and north=
ern outskirts of Mazar-e Sharif.&nbsp;<br /><br />Former vice-president Abd=
ul Rashid Dostum is expected to arrive tonight to Mazar - though from here =
he will most likely travel to Shibirghan - while former Balkh provincial go=
vernor Atta Mohammad Noor remains in the provincial capital. Even with the =
departure to Kabul of the 209 corps commander, local warlords are likely to=
 resist an attempted IEA incursion into Mazar, and the central government i=
s expected to send reinforcements, as needed.&nbsp;<br /><br /></div>
<div style=3D"text-align: justify;">NGOs are advised to avoid the areas. In=
 addition, given the likelihood of further attacks to the west and north of=
 the city, NGOs are advised to avoid unessential movements towards these ou=
tskirts of Mazar-e Sharif, and, if movement is needed, consult with INSO or=
 other trusted sources regarding the state of the roads heading out of Maza=
r.&nbsp;<br /><br /></div>
