PARAKH (Pajhwok): At least 14 died as flooding and a landslide hit villages in the Hisa-i-Awal district of central Panjsher province, local officials said Thursday.
Local sources said a mountain slide caused a water dam to breach, unleashing water on hundreds of houses in Peshghor village late Wednesday night.

Deputy police chief Najmuddin said 14 residents of the village had died in the disaster.
Omar Mohammadi, spokesman for the Minister Natural Disaster Management (MoNDM), earlier put the death toll at 10, but feared it might be . . .
