In Afghanistan, at least 14 people have died and more than two dozen were injured after a shooting attack at a shrine outside Kabul Tuesday. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, which came on the holy day of Ashura. This is an eyewitness.
Jamshid Jan: “I was at the site of the attack and saw around 10 people. Four of them were already martyred, and the rest were wounded. They all were taken to nearby hospitals. Also, the attackers were dressed in police uniforms.”
This comes as the Taliban seized control of a strategic district on the border with Turkmenistan Tuesday. A July report issued by a U.S. government watchdog says the Taliban now controls more territory across Afghanistan than at any point since 2001.
