Local sources in Herat province have confirmed that armed thieves shot and killed a young man in the provincial capital. The incident occurred on Friday evening near the 64-meter road in Herat city, where the victim, identified as Abdul Haq Rahmani, was fatally shot and his mobile phone was stolen.
The rise in criminal activities and armed robberies in Herat has sparked serious concern among residents. Sources attribute the increase in crime to the growing poverty and unemployment rates following the Taliban’s takeover, which have fueled desperation in the community.
Security officials have not yet commented on the incident or the apprehension of the perpetrators. The lack of effective policing against such crimes continues to distress the local population, who are calling for better security measures.
