KABUL, Feb 9 (NNN-BNA) – Two people were killed and another was injured, due to a gas leak from a cylinder, in northern Afghanistan’s Faryab province, it was reported yesterday.
The incident happened on Friday night, in the Tagabshan region of the province’s Garzywan district. The victims were using a gas cylinder for heating purposes, but a gas leak suffocated and killed the two individuals on the spot, and poisoned the third one, the source declared.
Last month, a gas cylinder leak claimed the lives of five members of a family, in eastern Khost province.
In Afghanistan, the lack of a central heating system, poses significant challenges for residents during the chilly winter season. To combat the chill, many locals depend on traditional wooden stoves and gas heaters, to provide warmth in their houses.– NNN-BNA
