A passenger bus overturned on the Kabul–Kandahar highway late Tuesday, killing at least 25 people and injuring 27 others, Taliban officials said.
Abdul Mateen Qani, spokesman for the Taliban’s Interior Ministry, said the crash occurred in the Arghandi area of Kabul when the bus veered off the road and plunged into a ravine. He said the bus, a 580-model coach, had been travelling from Kandahar to Kabul.
Taliban authorities said the incident is under investigation.
The accident comes just over a week after another deadly crash in Herat, where a bus carrying Afghan migrants deported from Iran overturned, killing 79 people.
