TEHRAN, October 20 - Provincial officials said two attacks in northern Afghanistan have wounded two women and frightened voters going to mark their ballots in the country's first parliamentary elections since 2010.

TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The spokesman for the Farah province police chief, Mohibullah Mohib, says a mortar struck in a residential area of the capital of Afghanistan's western Farah province.

In northeastern Kunar province's Nari district, Taliban fighters fired artillery onto roads leading to polling stations, injuring two women, said deputy provincial police chief Mohammad Zaman Ayar. The women's condition was not immediately known.
