GHAZNI, Afghanistan, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) -- Three people have been confirmed dead as flash floods swept through eastern Afghanistan's Ghazni province on Sunday night, a statement from the provincial police office said Monday.

Heavy rains triggered flash floods in Shirboz village of Dih Yak district on Sunday night, killing three people including a woman, the statement said.

Similar floods also struck Bihsud district of Ghazni's neighboring Wardak province on Sunday and badly damaged agricultural farms.

Heavy rains and flooding have claimed more than 400 lives and rendered thousands of people homeless since May in the war-battered country. Enditem
