According to multiple sources, a devastating flash flooding event in northern Afghanistan has resulted in significant loss of life. The reported number of fatalities varies slightly across articles, with one source stating "at least 50 people" were killed. Emergency personnel are actively searching for potential victims amidst the disaster. Officials attribute the high number of casualties to residents being unprepared for the heavy flash floods, warning that the death toll may continue to rise. The information has been corroborated by local official Hedayatullah Hamdard, head of the provincial natural disaster management department.
The Ministry of Interior has sent teams and helicopters to the area, but due to a shortage of night vision lights in helicopters, the operation may not be successful.
