“Unknown gunmen shot and killed civilians,” Interior Ministry spokesman Abdul Mateen Khani said.
“Armed men” killed “civilians” today during an attack in central Afghanistan’s Daikundi province, interior ministry spokesman Abdul Mateen Khani told AFP.
“Unknown gunmen shot and killed civilians,” he said, adding that more details would be released later.
A local source, who asked not to be named, said the attack left “14 dead and four wounded,” a tally that could not be immediately confirmed by an official or independent source.
Afghan media outlet Tolo news also reported 14 dead and four wounded, citing local sources.
Tolo news reported that the victims of the attack had gathered to welcome pilgrims returning from Karbala, one of Shiite Islam’s holiest sites, in central Iraq.
A hospital official in Nili, the capital of the mainly Shia-populated Daikundi province, told AFP that “we are expecting four wounded”. Nursing staff “were informed that they had to prepare for the admission and treatment of the injured,” he added.
