2021-04-20
[ToloNews] At least nine people were killed, including eight security force members and one civilian, and 18 more were maimed in security incidents in the last 24 hours, adding another layer to the concerns over increasing violence in the country.

Figures by the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) reveal that 39 non-combatants were killed in violence and 40 more were maimed from April 10 to April 18.

The incidents occurred between Sunday evening and Monday morning.
In Ghazni, two security force members were killed and five more were maimed in a clash on the outskirts of the city of Ghazni on Sunday evening.

"The Arzo village witnesses festivities every night. I hope that further bloodshed stops in Ghazni and in the country to respect the Ramadan month," said Khaliqdad Akbari, a member of the provincial council in Ghazni.

The security incidents happened in Baghlan, Ghazni, Kunduz, Balkh, Parwan, Ghor and Nangarhar
The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country..
