Unknown armed men gunned down the chief of staff for the 2nd Brigade of Border Force, Feraidoon Fayyaz, in the eastern Logar province, according to a local official.
The incident took place today, Wednesday, March 31, around 10:00 AM in Pul-e-Alam, the capital city of the province, said the brigade commander, Colonel Gujarkhan Aman.
Afghanistan has seen an unprecedented rise in targeted killings ever since the United States signed a peace deal with the Taliban militant group on February 29, 2020, in Doha, capital of Qatar.
Most of the targeted killings go unclaimed but the government blames the Taliban for the attacks.
