US airstrikes in Afghanistan continue to climb this month, highest this decade

Airstrikes in Afghanistan are reaching historically high numbers.
Following a three-day cease-fire in June, U.S. aircraft continued to pound Taliban positions across Afghanistan to convince the insurgent force that negotiating with the Afghan government is their only option, according to a press release and statistics provided by U.S. Air Forces Central Command this month.
For July, strike metrics saw highs across the board as the result of a surge in operations post-ceasefire, according to AFCENT.
