Flooding across several provinces in Afghanistan has killed at least five people and injured six others over the past 24 hours, according to the Taliban-run disaster management agency.
The agency said the floods affected provinces including Parwan, Paktia, Kandahar, Zabul and Helmand, causing both casualties and property damage.
At least 16 homes were completely destroyed and 87 others were partially damaged, the agency said. Three families were displaced, and a total of 180 families were affected by the flooding.
The latest fatalities come amid a broader period of severe weather. In Helmand province, heavy rains over the same period caused the collapse of a house, killing three people, according to local sources.
Afghanistan is highly vulnerable to seasonal flooding, particularly in rural areas where infrastructure is limited and homes are often not built to withstand extreme weather.
