Sources tell Afghanistan International that after the clash over the collection of Pakistani medicine in Kandahar city, the Taliban ordered Mirwais Hospital not to treat the injured in the incident. This conflict occurred after drug dealers protested against the Taliban's order to ban the sale of Pakistani drugs.
A source at Mirwais Hospital told Afghanistan International that the guards of this hospital have a prior order not to allow the wounded to enter and to prevent the admission and treatment of the wounded. For this reason, some of the injured were transferred to other hospitals.
According to information received by Afghanistan International, four members of the Taliban and three drug dealers were injured in this conflict. An eyewitness also said that he saw more than 10 people at the scene of the incident.
