It is with profound sadness that we have received the news of two tragic traffic accidents on the Kabul-Kandahar highway, resulting in the martyrdom of 52 of our fellow compatriots and injuring 65 others.
Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed, to Him we return.
These incidents have deeply disturbed and saddened us. We pray for the martyrs of these accidents to be granted the highest place in paradise (Jannat al-Firdous), and we pray for the swift recovery of the injured.
We deeply sympathize with the grieving families and extend our sincere condolences to them.
We urge the relevant authorities to conduct an immediate investigation into both incidents, identify the causes, and take necessary actions to prevent such tragedies in the future.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan
