Officials say at least 60 people, mainly women and children, were killed Wednesday when a part of a house collapsed during a wedding party in the northern Afghanistan.
More than 40 others were injured in the accident, which occurred in the Jellaba district of the Baghlan province.
Officials say one floor of the multi-story home collapsed during the wedding celebration.
Authorities said they were having a tough time getting the information and access because the village is located in a remote area.
Houses in rural Afghanistan are traditionally built with the mud bricks and wood and often do not have adequate support.
