 Two female Supreme Court judges have been shot dead by gunmen in the Afghan capital, Kabul.

Afghan officials confirmed the attack, saying gunmen attacked female Supreme Court judges in Kabul in the morning, killing both.

According to Afghan police officials, a woman was also injured in the attack and was taken to a hospital for medical treatment, while authorities have gathered evidence and launched an investigation.

In war-torn Afghanistan, on the one hand, there have been several rounds of peace talks, on the other hand, the country has seen an increase in bombings and attacks, and in the capital, Kabul, two Afghan female judges working for the Supreme Court have been shot dead Done

The judges were attacked as they were returning to their offices in a court car, AFP quoted court spokesman Ahmed Fahim Qawim as saying.

The spokesman said that the vehicle was used to transport women judges to their offices, adding that more than 200 women judges work for the country's higher judiciary.

 Kabul police also confirmed the attack.

"These were judges working for the Supreme Court," said Jamshed Rasooli, a spokesman for the attorney general's office.

It should be noted that in recent months, there has been an increase in violence in Afghanistan, especially in Kabul, and a new trend of targeted killings of high-profile figures is spreading fear and chaos in the city.

It may be recalled that 12 people were killed when two members of the Afghan militia opened fire on their comrade in the western Afghan province of Herat yesterday.

Herat police spokesman Abdul Ahad Walizada said the attackers were killed and took other people, weapons, and ammunition with them, adding that Afghan government forces later regained control of the area.

In addition, two policemen were killed in a bomb blast in the Afghan capital, Kabul, yesterday.

Kabul police spokesman Firdous Faramarz said a bomb had been planted with a police armored Land Cruiser SUV, killing two officers and injuring several others.

Earlier, nine Afghan security personnel were killed in attacks on two police checkpoints by Taliban fighters in the northern Afghan province of Kunduz.

Taliban fighters attacked both police checkpoints in Kunduz simultaneously.

It should be noted that thousands of troops and Taliban fighters have been killed in the long war since 2001, while an agreement was reached between the Taliban and the United States last year to end the war and withdraw US troops.

This paved the way for an agreement between the Taliban and the Afghan government, and talks between the two sides began in Doha, the capital of Qatar.

However, such incidents are happening every day in Afghanistan.
