    Afghanistan: Taliban open fire during protest over arrests of women for dress code violation

    Afghan Taliban authorities opened fire on a protest in Herat against the arrest of women for dress code violations, injuring at least three people. The protest, rare under Taliban rule, opposed strict Islamic dress regulations enforced by the Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice. The Taliban denied reports of arrests, calling them 'rumors,' while UN and human rights groups condemned the violence.
