At least 25 people have died after a landslide caused by heavy snow swept through a village in Afghanistan.
So far, eight people are known to have been injured in the incident, and there are fears the death toll may rise.
Officials say the weather has hampered rescue efforts, with helicopters unable to land and snow blocking the roads.
Those who have managed to reach the village in the eastern province of Nuristan were forced to use shovels and axes to dig through the rubble.
