20 Killed, 100 Missing In Afghanistan Flooding
Devastating flash floods in Afghanistan have claimed at least 20 lives and left approximately 100 people missing. Search operations are underway in the provincial capital of Parun as residents scour the mud for survivors.
Intense seasonal rains have triggered severe flash flooding across parts of Afghanistan, resulting in at least 20 confirmed fatalities. Local officials report that approximately 100 individuals remain missing as emergency teams struggle to navigate affected areas and assess the full extent of the damage.
In Parun, the provincial capital, the impact has been particularly severe with entire commercial districts being leveled by the water. Only mud now remains where riverside shops previously stood, forcing residents to conduct manual searches for missing neighbors and local officials.
Witnesses in the region reported that the floods struck with little warning, sweeping away infrastructure and private residences. Rescue efforts are being hampered by destroyed roads and the thick layer of silt left behind by the receding torrents. Source: Local reports from Parun residents.
