Taliban security forces killed six Islamic State (IS) members in an overnight raid in Kabul, Afghanistan, targeting individuals involved in recent major attacks.
The eliminated IS members were responsible for the deadly bombing of the Wazir Akbar Khan mosque and the attack on the Kaaj Institute, which resulted in 53 deaths, predominantly female students.
This operation underscores the ongoing security challenges in Afghanistan, with the Taliban facing persistent threats from its rival, Islamic State Khorasan (IS-K), despite claims of national stability.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
