At least 11 people were killed in a gun attack at a picnic spot in Afghanistan’s Herat province on Friday. The assault took place in Enjil district near Deh Mehri village, where unidentified armed men on motorcycles opened fire on visitors. Provincial officials initially reported four deaths, but later confirmed that seven more of the injured victims had died. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far.
According to a spokesperson for the Interior Ministry, the shooting occurred at a popular leisure area that is usually crowded on Fridays. A doctor in Herat told the BBC that the victims had gone to a local shrine for a picnic. Herat’s provincial head of information and culture, Ahmadullah Muttaki, said the incident happened around 3 p.m. local time.
The report noted that Shia Muslims, a minority group in Afghanistan, have previously been targeted in similar attacks, though the motive behind this incident remains unclear.
