Anatoly Sidorov; The Chief of Staff of the Russian-led Collective Security Treaty Organization has claimed that the number of ISIS fighters in Afghanistan reaches 6,500 and most of them are in the northern provinces.
But Bilal Karimi; The Deputy Spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate tells Killid that exaggeration and statements based on false information should be avoided.
The Islamic Emirate has always emphasized that ISIS does not have a popular base in Afghanistan and will be suppressed.
This is despite the fact that on Monday night, in an operation by the forces of the General Directorate of Intelligence of the Islamic Emirate in the Karte Naw area of Kabul city, three ISIS terrorists were killed and another person was arrested.
