Nangarhar is among the relatively calm provinces in eastern Afghanistan but the anti-government armed militant groups are active in some of its remote districts.
Both the Taliban insurgents and militants affiliated with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group are operating in this province.
Bati Kot is among the remote districts where both the Taliban insurgents and ISIS loyalists are actively operating and often clash among each other besides conducting insurgency against the government.
