ISIS-K, Blamed in Moscow Attack, Has Hit at Taliban’s Russia Links
Quick Glance: The remarkable evolution of ISIS-K's leader into a formidable group
  • Sanaullah Ghafari, in his role as the leader of the Afghan branch of Islamic State, played a significant role in the transformation into an extremely menacing branch of the global Islamist network, capable of conducting operations far from their bases in the border regions of Afghanistan.

  • The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the massacre at a concert hall near Moscow that resulted in the deaths of at least 137 people. U.S. officials indicated that the Afghan branch, Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K), was responsible.

  • Ghafari has enhanced the group's strength through his firm ideology and notable attacks. He has made repeated attempts to target Russia in response to its involvement in the Syrian civil war, which contributed to defeating ISIS' regional operations.

  • By using high-profile attacks as a tool for recruitment, the group has focused on ethnic Tajiks and Uzbeks in Central Asia. ISIS-K is planning to escalate its foreign operations, including attacks against the United States.

Quick Glance: North Korea Advances Hypersonic Missile Development
  • North Korea successfully tested a solid-fuel engine for its new-type intermediate-range hypersonic missile, designed to strike distant U.S. targets in the region.

  • Kim Jong Un guided the ground test of the solid-fuel engine for the hypersonic missile, emphasizing the strategic importance of this new weapon.

  • The development of hypersonic weapons aims to overcome U.S. and South Korean missile defense systems, although their desired speed and maneuverability have not been proven in recent tests.

  • Observers anticipate North Korea escalating its missile tests ahead of the U.S. presidential election in November, with the U.S. and South Korea expanding their military exercises in response.
