Afghanistan flash floods kill 74 people
Kunduz, Afghanistan, June 8 (IBNS): At least 74 people died and many others are feared dead as flash floods hit northern Baghlan province of Afghanistan on late Friday, reports said.
"According to local officials, hundreds of others were missing or injured as flash floods swept through Guzargah-e-Noor district," Afghanistan's Khaama Press reported.

The floods come a month after a landslide triggered by heavy rains buried a village and claimed 300 lives in a nearby region.
