Afghanistan’s state-run television, controlled by the Taliban, has reported the death of a second journalist in attacks allegedly carried out by Pakistani forces.
In a statement, the broadcaster said Abdul Zahir Safi was killed by Pakistani gunfire while on a media assignment near the border. The incident follows the reported death of another network correspondent, Abdul Ghafoor Abed, in Khost a day earlier. Another staff member was injured in the same attack.
The national broadcaster condemned Safi’s killing, calling it a “deliberate attack against journalists.” The statement did not specify the exact location or time of the incident.
The Taliban’s Ministry of Information and Culture also accused Pakistan of killing two journalists from Afghanistan’s national television, though Islamabad has not yet commented on the allegations.
