Badakhshan

As many as 16 people, including women and children, have died in the recent floods in Baghlan and Badakhshan provinces of Afghanistan, TOLO News reported.

A car blast in Afghanistan's Badakhshan province killed three people on Monday, including a provincial police chief, the Taliban-Run Afghan interior ministry said.

Since taking over the reins in August last year, Taliban has put severe restrictions on women's freedom in Afghanistan.

Taliban have created an exclusive battalion of suicide bombers that will be deployed to the borders of Afghanistan particularly in Badakhshan province, reports said.

An Afghan talent show contestant's striking resemblance to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has turned him into an unlikely celebrity in the war-torn country -- and potentially given him the winning edge.

At least eight people were killed and 18 injured today morning when a motorcycle bomb exploded in a crowded market in Afghanistan's northeastern Badakhshan province, local authorities said.

A 6.3-magnitude earthquake centred in the Hindu Kush jolted Afghanistan and Pakistan late Friday, leaving dozens of people injured just two months after a killer quake struck the same mountainous region.

An Afghan official says a Taliban attack on several police checkpoints in the country's northeast has killed six officers.

An Afghan official says authorities are trying to help 700 families who had to flee their homes after a landslide Friday buried a large swathe of their village.

Afghan officials have said that it is unlikely that the number of those killed in Friday' landslide will be above 500. The announcement of revised figures by Gul Mohammad Baidaar, deputy governor of Badakhshan, came hours after earlier information that over 2,100 people had died in the landslide.

Gunmen have kidnapped two foreign women aid workers and their three Afghan colleagues in the remote province of Badakhshan in northeast Afghanistan, officials said on Wednesday.

At least 145 people are missing and "presumed dead" after an avalanche hit a remote village in Afghanistan's northeastern Badakhshan province last week, the United Nations said on Saturday.
