On September 21, 2024, at approximately 1:00 PM, a group of 17 residents from the small village of Qariwdal in Daykundi province were en route to welcome two fellow villagers returning from a pilgrimage to Karbala, Iraq.

The armed individuals identified themselves as security forces [of the Taliban] and assured the group that they were searching for a suspicious person, telling them not to worry. The assailants then instructed the villagers to line up, ostensibly for a commemorative photograph. One attacker began taking photos while another started filming. Without warning, the other two opened fire on the group from both sides. The attack resulted in the immediate deaths of 13 Hazaras, all from the Qariwdal village. Four others were severely wounded. Additionally, a traveler from Palon Sang village in Ghor, who happened to be passing through the area during the shooting, was killed while attempting to flee.
