ISIS-K indubitably is the Pakistan branch of ISIS as opposed to the Taliban of either Afghanistan or Pakistan, and is one of enough outfits that wish to destabilise Pakistan and get at its nuclear weapons.
ISIS, together with the USA-led like-minded, are all invaders of Afghanistan as far as the Taliban is considered
