The Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) has been increasing its media activities, particularly through its media branch, Al-Azaim. Recently, Al-Azaim has released the second issue of its 'Voice of Khorasan' magazine in the Tajik language, a 55-page publication featuring propaganda against the Tajikistani government. Additionally, ISKP has announced the formation of an Urdu language media arm under Al-Azaim, which marks an expansion of its propaganda efforts. Al-Azaim has also issued the second number of its magazine, Sadoi Khuroson. Furthermore, a new 50-page booklet by Al-Azaim lists several international NGOs and organizations active in Afghanistan. Al-Azaim, which was previously considered an unofficial media outlet, has now described itself as an official media branch of ISKP. This development is part of ISKP's broader strategy to enhance its media presence and influence, particularly targeting international NGOs and organizations active in Afghanistan.

Pro-ISKP media group Azaim issued a statement about adding Urdu to mix of languages in output. More importantly, it described itself - possibly for the first time, but I may be wrong - as an official media outlet for ISKP. Previously, Azaim said it was "unofficial", "supportive" https://t.co/R05YFtzaiU
