在阿富汗国防和安全部队与塔利班进行交战的背景下，安全局势没有改善。恐怖分子、包括伊拉克和黎凡特伊斯兰国开展的暴力行动、自杀爆炸和其他形式的暴力，是平民伤亡人数日益增长的主要原因。
The security situation has not improved against the backdrop of the Afghan National Defence and Security Forces’ engagement against the Taliban. Tersistent acts of violence by terrorists, including the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, suicide bombings and other forms of violence are the main causes of the ever-rising numbers of civilian casualties.
