Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) is a violent Sunni extremist group, officially recognized by the Islamic State as an affiliate based in Khorasan, a historic region extending over parts of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Iran. The objective of ISKP is to establish the "wilayat" (province) of Khorasan as part of the global IS caliphate. Since IS announced the establishment of ISKP in January 2015, the group has carried out suicide bombings, small arms attacks, and abductions against civilians, aid organizations and security forces in Afghanistan and Pakistan. ISKP has demonstrated its ability to carry out high profile attacks, including against Western interests. ISKP claimed responsibility for the June 2016 bomb attack in Kabul that targeted a bus carrying security guards contracted by the Canadian Embassy, which killed at least 14 people. On August 26, 2021, ISKP attacked the Abbey Gate at Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport, killing at least 170 civilians and wounding 150 others. U.S. service personnel were among those killed and at least 15 U.S. troops were injured. ISKP has also expanded operations beyond Afghanistan, including the January 30, 2024, explosions in Kerman, Iran, at a memorial for Qassim Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force, that killed at least 84 people and wounded 211. On March 22, 2024, four gunmen attacked the Crocus City Hall concert venue near Moscow, Russia, firing at civilians, killing at least 137 people and wounding at least 180. Central IS claimed responsibility for the attack. In February 2025, a suicide attacker targeted a branch of the New Kabul Bank in Kunduz, Afghanistan, killing at least five and injuring seven. ISKP claimed responsibility for the attack.
