BREAKING:
Initial unconfirmed reports indicate 10-12 casualties in total on both (ANDSF and US forces) sides. #Afghanistan #Nangarhar
NYT journalist says 5-6 US fatalities in Nangarhar incident. As well as 6 on Afghan side, as per one official. #Nangarhar #Afghanistanhttps://twitter.com/MujMash/status/1226193580005433346 …
I must reiterate that all casualty figures right now are largely unconfirmed. #Afghanistanhttps://twitter.com/Natsecjeff/status/1226208557634289664 …
No official Taliban claim yet for Nangarhar insider attack but pro-Taliban channels/groups are buzzing. #Afghanistan
There are 2 conflicting reports. 1st report claims the clash took place b/w Afghan troops & US troops following a verbal argument over something. While several pro-Taliban sources are implying the incident was caused by a sleeper cell within Afghan troops. #Nangarhar #Afghanistan
US official reportedly confirms US casualties in Nangarhar incident. #Afghanistanhttps://twitter.com/ElmaAksalic/status/1226249148208275456?s=19 …
Report: Two US SOF soldiers killed and multiple others injured in Nangarhar incident. #Afghanistanhttps://twitter.com/JohnBasham/status/1226252294620155904?s=19 …
UPDATE:

As per reports, 9 ANDSF were killed and at least 3 wounded in last night's incident.
As per pro-Taliban sources, ANA soldier Javed opened fire on US and ANDSF soldiers. #Afghanistan #Nangarharpic.twitter.com/hByh6fHXCR
One more ANDSF soldier other than Javed (who was from Rodat, Nangarhar) may have been involved in last night's incident. While Javed was killed, the other soldier was beaten up and detained. Ops in Shirzad halted after last night's incident. #Afghanistanhttps://twitter.com/bsarwary/status/1226388028454768640?s=19 …
Afghan MoD: An Afghan uniform opened fire on Afghan Army and US forces in Sherzad district last...one brave ANA member was martyred and three brave members injured; and two brave Resolute support members lost their lives and six were injured.https://twitter.com/cbsMcCormick/status/1226464462544285696 …
Interestingly, US military is not calling last night's Nangarhar incident 'insider attack' yet. #Afghanistanhttps://twitter.com/LucasFoxNews/status/1226467464499941377 …
I highly doubt though that ISKP was involved in last night's incident in Nangarhar. Shirzad is the region where clashes have been going on between ANDSF (which launched an op recently) and Taliban for past few weeks now. #Afghanistanhttps://twitter.com/LucasFoxNews/status/1226468426572554240 …
And yes, so far no official claim from the Taliban yet. But pro-Taliban channels have been buzzing since last night. Also note that ISKP has gone totally quiet in Kunar and Nangarhar since last year's surrender. #Nangarhar #Afghanistanhttps://twitter.com/Natsecjeff/status/1226469724403486721 …
US SOF soldiers attended a meeting at the district center in eastern Afghanistan Saturday afternoon, officials say. As per my sources, this meeting was with local tribal personalities and the firing incident happened around this time.https://twitter.com/LucasFoxNews/status/1226470940269260801 …
Looks like Afghan govt has once again changed its statement. Now it says 1 ANDSF member killed, 3 ANDSF members wounded in last night's incident in Nangarhar. A joint investigation has been launched of the incident. #Afghanistanhttps://twitter.com/pajhwok/status/1226466898553921536?s=20 …
So far there is no official claim of responsibility from Taliban for last night's incident in Nangarhar. Although Al-Emarah did report the incident but only as a news item. #Afghanistan

The whole Shirzad incident is still shrouded in mystery. US military is refusing to call it an insider attack and there's no official claim from the Taliban. Hopefully we will find more details in near future (or not?) #Nangarhar #Afghanistan
