The severe flooding affected most parts of Shinkay District and the provincial capital, Qalat city. Among the victims, a woman and three children were identified. Additionally, one person sustained injuries due to the disaster.

Zabihullah Jawhar, a spokesperson for the provincial police, reported significant property damage caused by the floods, including destroyed farmland, homes, and livestock.

This latest tragedy follows a similar pattern of deadly storms and floods that struck the eastern Nangarhar province in July, resulting in over 40 fatalities and over 350 injuries. (ILKHA)
