Afghanistan has experienced severe flooding, landslides, and thunderstorms, resulting in 17 deaths and 26 injuries. The affected areas include 13 provinces, mostly in the western, central, and northwestern parts of the country. The severe weather has destroyed 147 homes and 80 kilometers of roads, and damaged agricultural land and irrigation canals.
