Unidentified gunmen kill 12 in Afghanistan’s Baghlan: Sources

2024-11-23

[KhaamaPress] Sources have reported that 12 people bit the dust in a shooting carried out by unidentified armed assailants in Nahrin District, Baghlan Province.

According to these sources, the incident occurred last night in Ziarat Shahr Kohna, located in Nahrin District. The attack has caused significant concern among the local population, who are already grappling with ongoing insecurity.

These individuals were reportedly at the Sayed Padshah Shrine in the old city of Nahrin, "engaged in prayer when they were killed."

Images on social media show the bodies of the victims inside what is described as a shrine.

It remains unclear who—whether an individual or group—was responsible for carrying out this attack.

Incidents like the Nahrin attack reflect a disturbing trend of increasing violence against civilians in Afghanistan. Amid the fragile security situation, such attacks leave communities in a state of constant fear and vulnerability.

Tolo News adds:

Sher Ahmad Burhani, the spokesperson for the Baghlan security command, stated: "Last night, unidentified individuals attacked a mosque in Shahr-e-Kohna of Nahrin district in Baghlan province. In this mysterious attack, ten residents of Nahrin, who were engaged in worship at the mosque, were martyred. It should be noted that these individuals spent their days working to earn a livelihood and came to the mosque and khanqah for worship at night when they were attacked."
