KHOST CITY (Pajhwok): Five individuals have been killed and a sixth wounded as a result of a roof cave-in in southeastern Khost province, officials said on Tuesday.
Local authorities said the overnight roof collapse in the Matoon area of Khost City, the provincial capital, was induced by heavy rains.

She added another individual was injured in the incident and was currently in a hospital for medical treatment. The authorities are considering food and non-food aid to the affected family.
