The province expanded its activity and also acted against the Pakistani security forces on the eastern side of the border. One noteworthy attack was carried out on October 3, 2021, when a suicide bomber detonated his explosive belt among senior Taliban operatives taking part in a mourning ceremony at a mosque in Kabul.
