An armed clash in Bamiyan’s Shibar district left 10 people injured, including a young woman, as authorities reported arrests and ongoing tensions in the area.
Local officials in Bamiyan province reported that ten people, including a young woman, were injured during an intra-community clash that broke out on Sunday night.
According to a statement released by the Bamiyan press office on Monday, September 22, the violence occurred in the Mohammad Kecha village of Shibar district.
Witnesses said firearms were used during the confrontation, escalating the severity of the clash and contributing to the number of injured, which included both men and women.
Authorities confirmed that six individuals have been arrested in connection with the incident, but the precise motive for the violent outbreak has not been disclosed.
While no official explanation was given, the incident comes amid heightened ethnic and tribal tensions in the region, which has previously experienced forced displacement and violence.

The latest incident underscores the fragile security situation in Afghanistan’s central provinces, where unresolved ethnic disputes, coupled with weak governance, continue to endanger civilian lives and fuel local instability.
