The attack on foreign nationals took place in Bamyan province of Afghanistan. Some foreigners visit the site with the remnants of massive Buddhist statues mostly destroyed by the Taliban in 2001.

Three Spanish tourists and an Afghan national were killed after gunmen in Afghanistan opened fire in central Bamyan province late on Friday, a Taliban spokesman said.

Another four foreigners and three Afghans were injured in the shootout, Afghanistan's Interior Ministry spokesperson Abdul Mateen Qani confirmed.

The wounded included citizens of Norway, Australia, Lithuania and Spain, according to the information provided by the hospital staff.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
