On the night of November 23, 2022, forces from the Taliban Security Command and the General Directorate of Intelligence (GDI) conducted an operation in the village of Sare-e-Siwak, located in the central district of Nili, Daykundi province. The operation began with the encirclement of the village, focusing on particular residences. In the early hours of the following morning, as residents prepared for morning prayers, nine individuals from two families, including four minors, were fatally shot, and two sustained injuries. Additionally, five individuals were detained, with one subsequently reported missing. Reports suggest that the operation was initiated based on erroneous information attributed to a local commander and his associates, stemming from previous disputes and personal animosity, alleging insurgent activities by the victims.
