Local sources say two women have been killed in Faryab Province.
Sources told the Hasht-e Subh Daily on Thursday, November 12, that two women were killed and two men injured in a shooting inside a house.
According to the sources, the incident occurred last night in the Damqol area of Maimana, the provincial capital of Faryab.
The sources say the incident was the result of domestic violence.
This is reportedly the fifth case of women being killed in Afghanistan over the past month.
In recent incidents, a woman was killed in a shooting in Nangarhar, a young woman was killed in Ghor Province, and two women were killed in Bala Murghab District of Badghis Province.
These incidents come as domestic violence remains a serious social problem in Afghanistan, with women and girls continuing to fall victim to such violence.
