Three children aged 7–10 were killed in the Zawa area of Khugiani district, Nangarhar province, after a mortar shell they found while playing exploded on Tuesday evening. The incident reflects the ongoing danger of unexploded ordnance (UXO/ERW) from decades of armed conflict in Afghanistan. No current armed actor is directly responsible; the deaths result from legacy explosive contamination. UNMAS has documented ERW contamination in Khugiani district and has supported demining operations there.

Three children were killed and one injured in Nangarhar province after an abandoned mortar round exploded while four children were handling it. The UN reported 64 civilian casualties from explosive remnants of war (ERW) and unexploded ordnance (UXO) across eastern Afghanistan since the start of 2026, with children being particularly at risk. Severe funding shortages are limiting mine-action activities.

Pakistani air and drone strikes inside Afghanistan on at least 15 occasions between October 2025 and September 2026 killed at least 364 civilians and wounded 346 others across Kabul and the provinces of Kandahar, Kunar, Khost, Nangarhar, Paktia, and Paktika. Women and children made up 55% of casualties in some strike clusters. UNAMA confirmed individual incidents and noted more than 1,100 civilian deaths and injuries from cross-border violence in 2026 alone. Strikes also damaged homes, a madrassa, and a mosque. Pakistan claimed it targeted militant hideouts; UNAMA called on all parties to respect international humanitarian law.

Strikes on 1 October 2026 killed at least 10 civilians, mostly children, in Kunar and Helmand. Three civilian homes were also struck. Amnesty International found no military use of the rehabilitation centre.

A Guardian feature compiling first-person testimonies from 12 Afghan women across Herat, Balkh, Kabul, Jawzjan, Faryab, Nangarhar, Daykundi, Samangan and northern provinces describes life under Taliban rule. The dominant harm is the systematic denial of education to girls and women — university closures, restrictions on schooling beyond 6th grade, and enforced dress codes with punitive expulsions. Additional specific violations include: two female former soldiers arrested in Herat whose fate remains unknown (enforced disappearance); a 12-year-old's classmates expelled from school for dress code non-compliance; a university student in Nangarhar left without recourse after the Taliban closed universities to women; an undercover journalist operating in constant fear of Taliban surveillance and arrest; and a dental assistant harassed by the Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue. Women are also subject to severe movement restrictions, mahram requirements, and pervasive economic deprivation.
