A Tajik citizen was killed in an attack by unidentified gunmen in the Imam Sahib district of Kunduz province in northern Afghanistan, according to at least two Afghan media outlets — the newspaper Hasht-e Subh and Amu.tv.
The exact date of the incident remains unclear. Hasht-e Subh reported on March 15 that the attack occurred about three days earlier, while Amu.tv said the shooting took place on Saturday, March 14.
The victim was identified as Adolat Hamidi. According to Hasht-e Subh, she was a citizen of Tajikistan who had worked for more than 15 years as a nurse and midwife in the Imam Sahib district.
The newspaper reports that she was married to a local resident and had one daughter. Her body has reportedly been transported to Tajikistan.
“Ms. Adolat provided medical services and assisted with childbirth for rural and low-income women for many years and earned respect among local residents,” Amu.tv reported.
Further details about the attack remain unknown.
Authorities in Tajikistan and representatives of the Taliban government have not yet commented on the incident.
