Furthermore, search operations are expected to continue in the coming days.=

<div style=3D"text-align: justify;">At approximately 1900 hrs, IEA forces c=
eased the house searches; however, an increased presence of mobile checkpoi=
nts remain in all the affected areas and multiple other areas of the city. =
The search operations have most likely been paused for the night, with incr=
eased security presence in place to secure progress made during the day and=
 search operations are expected to resume in the morning of 26 February and=
 spread further across the city. Search operations and an increased securit=
y presence can be expected to continue in the coming days. Reportedly, seve=
ral thousand IEA members have been involved in today's operations in Kabul =
and surrounding provinces.<br /><br />Multiple NGO compounds have been sear=
ched as part of the operations in Kabul City. While attempts at avoiding IE=
A members to enter NGO premises by explaining the nature of the organisatio=
n have been mostly unsuccessful, INSO has not received reports of significa=
nt damage to property, violence or threats to NGO staff members. Searches c=
an be expected to continue to include NGO facilities in the coming days.<br=
 /><br />When completing the search of a house, IEA forces have marked the =
door of the compound, with a text saying that the compound had been searche=
d and secured, to track progress and to avoid double searching.<br /><br />=
IEA forces have made arrests during the search operations; however, the fig=
ure currently remains unknown. Furthermore, IEA forces have seized weapons,=
 including personal weapons, from multiple houses, and an unknown number of=
 vehicles have been confiscated.&nbsp;<br /><br />In one incident, in the Q=
ala-e Fatullah area of PD 10, IEA forces shot around three warning shots in=
to the air to stop a vehicle that reportedly attempted to escape a checkpoi=
nt. The driver and three other persons in the vehicle were arrested, and an=
 unknown amount of weapons were reportedly seized from the vehicle. Aside f=
rom this incident, there have been no reports of armed clashes or shots fir=
ed in Kabul City, as a result of the operation.&nbsp;<br /><br />Aside from=
 operations in Kabul Province, similar large scale search operations have b=
een conducted in Parwan and Kapisa provinces throughout the day. These oper=
ations have also been paused for the night. Furthermore, an increased IEA p=
resence has been observed in Logar Province, with additional mobile checkpo=
ints around Mohammad Agha DAC and Pul-e Alam City.&nbsp;<br /><br />IEA iss=
ued a statement regarding the ongoing operation through social media, infor=
ming the public about the ongoing search operation of Kabul City and surrou=
nding provinces. The statement urged civilians to cooperate with the securi=
ty forces and explained that the operations were to ensure security.&nbsp;<=

<div style=3D"text-align: justify;">The previous advisory remains in place.=
&nbsp;</div>
<div style=3D"text-align: justify;"><br />Furthermore, NGOs are advised to =
ensure that keys are available within the compound to provide access for IE=
A members insisting on searching buildings.&nbsp;</div>
<div style=3D"text-align: justify;"><br />NGOs that already had their compo=
und searched are advised to refer IEA members to the mark made on their gat=
e following the search if IEA members should seek to search the compound ag=
ain. At the same time, NGOs who are searched should make sure that IEA forc=
es leave the appropriate mark on their door to avoid a second search.&nbsp;=

larger coordinated effort, searching houses for potential OAG members, weap=

in Kapisa and Parwan provinces.&nbsp;<br /><br /></div>

<div style=3D"text-align: justify;">NGOs present in affected areas are advi=
