At least 69 people were killed and three others were injured in a road accident in Afghanistan’s Herat province. Officials said that the accident occurred last night when a passenger bus collided with a motorbike and a mini-truck on a highway linking Iran to Herat city. According to media reports, many victims, including women and children, were Afghan refugees returning from Iran. The crash caused the bus to catch fire, making identification of many bodies difficult. Officials fear the death toll may rise as rescue operations continue. Earlier this month, several fatal road accidents were reported in northern and central Afghanistan, highlighting the ongoing issue of road safety in the country.
