Heavy rains, unusual floods kill 10 in Afghanistan
Heavy rains on July 5 and 6 caused severe damage to over 280 homes and other critical infrastructure in nine provinces, including four bridges and an eight-kilometer road.
It is the second time the eastern region has experienced flash floods in less than a month, killing 19 and injuring 131 in heavy rains that fell over two days in June, the statement said.
As a result of heavy rains, flooding and landslides in Nuristan province, the road from Kunar to central Nuristan has been closed to traffic, the country’s Ministry of Public Works said.
The ministry uses heavy machinery to reopen the road.
