Residents of Yaftal-e Payan district in Badakhshan report that casualties from recent protests have risen to four dead and nine injured.
Local sources stated the demonstrations erupted in response to increased detentions and house searches by Taliban forces across the district.
However, Taliban police command in Badakhshan claimed the unrest began after security personnel stopped a motorcycle suspected of transporting illegal narcotics.
