Local reports from Balkh Province detail the tragic shooting of a young woman by Taliban forces in the region.
According to sources, on Tuesday, February 6th, the Taliban carried out the shooting in the “Kol Amboi” area of Balkh’s district, leaving the victim’s body abandoned by the roadside.
The motive driving the Taliban to perpetrate this heinous act remains shrouded in mystery.
As of now, the Taliban have refrained from issuing any statement regarding this incident.
This grim occurrence follows closely on the heels of another unsettling event last Friday, wherein unidentified assailants took the lives of two men and two women in the Karte Khurasan area, located within the seventh district of Mazar-i-Sharif, the provincial capital of Balkh.
