Local sources in Kandahar report the murder of a young man named Atta Mohammad, who was stabbed to death by unidentified assailants.
The incident occurred on Thursday in the Karwan Alley of District 2, where the victim succumbed to severe injuries near his home.
This murder adds to growing concerns over a spike in “mysterious and targeted killings” in the southern provinces.
With no motive established and the perpetrators still at large, the community remains on edge regarding personal safety.
Residents express frustration that despite Taliban claims of improved security, criminal activities and unsolved murders continue to claim lives.
The lack of rigorous judicial follow-up in such cases has fostered an atmosphere of fear among the local population.
