The NATO mission has previously stated that fighting in Kunduz was "sporadic" and there was no evidence that the attack was "significant."
Afghanistan is in a state of political and social turmoil, with government forces fighting the continuing Taliban insurgency, while Daesh, outlawed in Russia, has also expanded their activities both in the country and in neighboring states.
