Khashi further added that the suspects were arrested from Darzab district as they were attempting to flee to Shebarghan city.

He also added that the women are originally hailing from Baghlan, Kunduz, and Samangan provinces of Afghanistan and are currently in the custody of the security forces.

According to Khashi, the detained women have confessed during the preliminary investigations that they were members of the ISIS Khurasan group.

The anti-government armed militant groups including ISIS Khurasan loyalists have not commented in this regard so far.
