JALALABAD, Afghanistan, July 15 (Xinhua) -- At least 35 people were killed and 250 others were injured as rainstorms and flash floods swept through east Afghanistan's Nangarhar province on Monday afternoon, a local official said.
The disaster, according to Nangarhar's provincial director for information and culture Qurishi Badlon, affected the provincial capital of Jalalabad, Sukh Rod District and their neighboring areas in the province bordering Pakistan.
The casualties are expected to rise, the official added.
A similar natural disaster also claimed five lives in Nangarhar's neighboring Kunar province hours earlier on Monday morning.
Heavy rains and flooding have killed more than 400 and rendered thousands homeless since May in the war-torn country. ■
