At least  21 people have been killed and 8 others wounded by gunmen who opened fire at a wedding in the northeastern province of Baghlan, Afghanistan. Apparently, two armed groups got into a dispute at the wedding and began to fire at each other, killing some guests present.
According to sources, the attack was linked to a feud between two families in which one was hosting the wedding. Although the bride and groom survived the attack, most of the dead were wedding guests aged from 14 years old to 60 years old.
Fatal gun fights and celebratory gun fire are common at Afghan weddings, which have boomed in recent years in the country.
