A woman has reportedly been beheaded in Afghanistan after she entered a village without her husband.

The act took place in the village of Latti in Sar-e-pul province.

Provincial governor Zabiullah Amani reported that the 30-year-old woman was targeted because she went out alone without her husband.

Media in the local area reported that the woman had attempted to visit the market shop.

Women are also banned from working or education and are forced to wear the burqa.

The Taliban have rejected any involvement in this latest incident.

Earlier in December, five female Afghan guards working in the airport in southern Kandahar were killed by gunmen as they were on their way to work.

Samim Khpulwak, spokesman for the governor of Kandahar, said the five women were in charge of searching female travelers at the Kandahar airport, and had been hired by a private security company.

‘Two gunmen on motorbike followed their van and opened fire on them, killing the five and their driver this morning.”
