Hundreds of Afghan protesters, including many women, took to the streets of Kabul on Tuesday, September 7, 2021, in an anti-Pakistan protest chanting 'Death to Pakistan', denouncing Islamabad's interference in Afghanistan as well as airstrikes by Pakistani jets in Panjshir province in support of the Taliban.
The protest was brutally broken up by members of the Taliban who charged at the protestors and also fired in the air. Unconfirmed reports say three people, including a 10-year-old-child, were killed as a result of the Taliban violence.
