Media Worker Injured In Unknown Individuals’ Attack In Balkh

Sources informed Afghanistan International that on Wednesday, July 31, unknown armed individuals attacked and wounded Sayed Jalal Hosseini, an employee of Paykan Radio and TV network.

The assailants stole his phone and wallet.

The motive behind this incident remains unclear, and the Taliban has not yet commented in this regard.

On Tuesday, sources reported to Afghanistan International that Hosseini had been transported to the hospital, and his condition is improving.

In February 2023, a fire broke out at the Paykan radio and television network in Mazar-e-Sharif, causing their broadcasts to be halted.

Also, Taliban previously had entered the building of this media outlet, seized the owner's property, and confiscated one of the network's vehicles.
