KABUL (Afghan Verified) -- The United Arab Emirates expressed condolences to the families of victims killed in a landslide in Kapisa province.

The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a message on Saturday, 25 Dalu, extending sympathies to the families of those killed and to the injured in the incident.

Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs also sent a similar message of condolences to the victims' families.

The landslide occurred two nights prior in the Elyaskhel Shokhi area of Kapisa's central district, when a mountain collapsed onto the roof of a house, killing four people, including two children, and injuring six others.

The Taliban had stated about two weeks earlier that more than 60 people died due to rainfall and natural disasters across 15 provinces.

Reliability assessment

Single source reports a ground event (landslide casualties) with concrete details (location, numbers) but lacks independent corroboration or direct on-record attribution for the incident itself; official ministry statements on condolences are checkable.
