Sources in Kunduz Province in the north of the country report that a man has killed his two young children by slitting their throats with a knife.

The sources also stated that the man injured another child and his wife in the attack.

According to these sources, the incident occurred early Sunday morning, August 26, in the village of Gul Bagh, in the Chahardara district.

Due to the graphic nature of the images, Amu has chosen not to publish them.

This tragic event comes amid a rise in domestic violence across Afghanistan over the past three years.

Some citizens attribute the increase in violence to limited job opportunities, psychological stress on family members, and worsening poverty under Taliban rule.
