A tragic minibus accident in northeastern Afghanistan's Badakhshan province has resulted in the deaths of at least 15 people, as reported by Business Recorder and Tribune Latest. The incident occurred when the vehicle 'veered off course and fell into a valley' due to 'severe road damage,' according to a provincial police spokesperson. The victims include six children, five women, and four men, with three individuals succumbing to their injuries at the hospital, raising the death toll from the initial count of 12 reported by The Frontier Post. This incident underscores the ongoing issue of deadly traffic crashes in Afghanistan, which are exacerbated by poor road conditions, dangerous driving practices, and a lack of regulatory oversight.
