According to Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, one of the terrorists killed was Qari Fateh, who was known as the intelligence chief and a former minister of war for the Islamic State-Khorasan Province (ISKP).
The Islamic State movement — including its Afghanistan iteration — is vehemently anti-Russia in orientation, criticizing its foreign and domestic policies.
The expansion of ISKP propaganda outreach, recruitment, and fundraising efforts may have significant security implications for countries in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region and possibly beyond.
