Six Afghan Red Cross workers have been killed by suspected Islamic State (IS) group gunmen in the northern Afghan province of Jowzjan, officials say.
The workers were shot dead in the Qush Tepa area, the local governor said.
Two others are unaccounted for, feared abducted by the group, he said. The ICRC confirmed the deaths but said it did not know who had killed its staff.
IS has been active in Afghanistan since 2015, claiming recent attacks in the east and Kabul.
