This information is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. Data are more readily available for the Task Force Helmand area of operations in Helmand province, which includes the majority of UK forces deployed to Afghanistan. It should be noted that this area of operations has not stayed constant during the period in question.
The following figures refer to IED explosions that have been subsequently reported by International Security Assistance Force units operating within the Task Force Helmand area of operations. This includes both 'laid' IEDs and suicide (both vehicle and person borne) devices.

The data are based on information derived from a number of sources and can only be an estimate, not least because of the challenges of collating statistics in a complex fast moving multinational operational environment.
