Flash Floods in Afghanistan's Nuristan Kill 20, Over 100 Missing
Flash floods in Afghanistan's Nuristan province have killed at least 20 people, injured around 80, and left more than 100 missing, including the mayor of Parun and his bodyguards. The floods caused extensive damage to homes, shops, and infrastructure, with rescue operations underway despite difficult terrain. Authorities warned of further rain and urged residents to avoid flood-prone areas. Climate change and deforestation have increased the region's vulnerability to such extreme weather events.
