Civilian casualties documented by un during recent afghan election

According to the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), there were civilian casualties documented during the recent Afghan presidential election on September 28, 2019.

UNAMA reported that at least 57 civilians were killed and 137 others were wounded in election-related violence, including attacks on polling stations, voter queues, and transportation. The majority of these casualties were caused by improvised explosive devices (IEDs), suicide bombings, and gunfire.

Here is a breakdown of the civilian casualties documented by UNAMA:

These figures are based on UNAMA's preliminary report, which was released on October 1, 2019. The report noted that the actual number of civilian casualties may be higher, as not all incidents may have been reported or documented.

It's worth noting that the election was marred by violence, with multiple attacks reported across the country. The Taliban, which has been waging a 17-year insurgency against the government and foreign forces, claimed responsibility for many of the attacks. However, other groups, including the Islamic State (ISIS) and local militias, also carried out attacks during the election.

The UN Secretary-General's Special Representative for Afghanistan, Tadamichi Yamamoto, condemned the violence and called for an immediate end to the attacks. He also urged all parties to respect the rights of civilians and to work towards a peaceful and inclusive political process.
