Taliban authorities confirmed a tragic shooting on September 12, resulting in the deaths of civilians in central Afghanistan, with further details pending from local sources.
Abdul Matin Qani, spokesman for the Taliban's Interior Ministry, reported that 'unknown gunmen have opened fire and have killed the civilians,' although additional information was to follow.
Eyewitness accounts reveal that at least 12 Hazara civilians were killed by armed men on motorbikes near the border of Ghor and Daykundi provinces.
Unidentified armed men targeted a gathering of people welcoming pilgrims from Karbala, leading to a claim of responsibility by the Islamic State extremist group for the violent act.
