Targeted killings in Afghanistan are raising deep concerns as civilians face growing violence despite repeated Taliban security claims. Sources say Taliban intelligence forces arrived shortly after the shooting. Many accuse authorities of failing to investigate what they describe as targeted killings in Afghanistan, especially against religious minorities. These numbers challenge ongoing Taliban security claims of nationwide stability. Human rights groups report bodies found in eastern regions, disappearances in northern Kabul, and continued targeted killings in Afghanistan, particularly of Ismailis and former security personnel.
