KABUL, April 25 (Xinhua) -- Five members of a family died and two others sustained injuries as the roof of their house caved in in western Afghanistan's Badghis province on Saturday, a statement of the provincial police office confirmed.
The deadly incident took place in the wee hours of Saturday in the provincial capital Qala-e-Naw, the statement said, adding that the victims included four children and a woman, and two more members of the family were injured.
Earlier, a similar incident left two dead in the eastern Wardak province on Wednesday.
People in post-war Afghanistan are mostly living in mud houses, which are vulnerable to natural disasters, including rain and flooding, as parts of the country have experienced torrential rains and flash floods over the past couple of weeks. ■
