This article addresses incidents in the north of Afghanistan from April 2009 to present. While northern Afghanistan is relatively peaceful compared to the all-out war zones in the south and east of the country, the security situation in several provinces has deteriorated and prompted the German-led Regional Command North to launch a series of operations to take on the rising insurgency. Concerted operations began after an insurgent attack on PRT Kunduz only minutes after German Chancellor Angela Merkel left from a visit to German troops. Meanwhile, American units have reinforced ISAF's presence in the north of the country, effectively doubling the available assets there and allowing a more aggressive approach towards the insurgency.
