KABUL - At least 150 people have been killed and 114 others injured as rainstorms and flash floods hit major parts of north Afghanistan's Baghlan and Takhar provinces, local officials reported on Saturday.

"Recent flash floods hit most parts of the province including Gozargah-e-Noor, Jelgah, Nahrin, Dushi, Baghlan-e-Markazi, Dahna-e-Ghori, Tala-o-Barfak, and Barka districts, as well as the provincial capital of Pul-e-Khumri, leaving 130 dead and injuring 100 others," Baghlan's deputy governor Mullah Alam Majidi said on Saturday.

The natural mishap mostly affected local people in Barka and Baghlan-e-Markazi districts, said Majidi, adding that the number of causalities will be increased.

Meanwhile, foreign media quoted the United Nation's International Organization for Migration as saying that over 200 people were killed and thousands of houses were destroyed or damaged in Baghlan.
