Local sources in Daikundi province have reported the poisoning of dozens of female students in the schools of Kiti and Shahristan districts.

According to the sources, on Wednesday morning (May 7), female students at the Kiti Girls' School suddenly showed symptoms of severe itching, nausea, and shortness of breath. The number of affected students is reported to be between 40 and 50.

Sources confirmed that these students were transferred to the Kiti district clinic, and the condition of some of them has been described as critical.

The cause of the poisoning is still unknown, but some students said they smelled a strange odor in the classrooms before the symptoms appeared.

Meanwhile, health sources in the center of Daikundi stated that female students in the "Chah Chah" area of Shahristan district were also poisoned. The health status of these students has been described as stable.

So far, local Taliban officials in Daikundi have not commented on the incident.
