At least 7,000 ISIS militants are currently active and about 3,000 are in reserve in Afghanistan, Russian Special Presidential Representative for Afghanistan, Director of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s Second Asia Department Zamir Kabulov said on March 29.
“We say that there are 7,000 active [ISIS members] plus about 3,000 reserve militants, though the information we possess may be outdated and there may be more of them already,” Kabulov said, according to the state-run news agency TASS.
According to the diplomat, ISIS is creating a network of bases in the country where it recruits new members.
Kabulov said that ISIS expects to get access to drug trafficking in order to gain new sources of revenue after losing their positions in Syria and Iraq.
“They are fighting with the Talibs for business and control over drug laboratories,” he said.

10,000 US made ISIS militants currently active in Afghanistan. Sounds about right.
Yep, 10,000 ISIS killing Afghanis with the help from the US military contractors who feed them intel about Afghan deployments. This is how they worked over the Iraqi Army too, until the Popular Mobilisation Units were started who did not share intel with the Americans. It was the way for them to become effective. It worked well. The Afghans need to do the same.
Uh, how this news? We already knew there were ISIS cells and enclaves there and the number of militants can very widely depending how you count. Judging by news reports of significant clashes the majority of the fighting is between pro-Taliban and pro-government forces.
