Reliability assessment
Single source (Amu TV) provides direct, concrete, checkable details including specific districts (Sabri in Khost, Farah Rud in Farah), exact casualty figures (2 killed, 3 wounded), and causes of the incidents.
The source language mixes facts with framing or advocacy wording. Amu TV: "significant increase" (افزایش چشمگیری) implies dramatic escalation; "criticizing the lack of attention of officials" frames citizens' views with advocacy against authorities; "among the deadliest occurrences" uses hyperbolic ranking to emphasize severity.
