The incident also left 15 more Afghans injured on Wednesday, the country's Tolo television channel reported.
"Floods left 40 persons including women and children dead in Kapisa and Laghman provinces of Afghanistan," said the report.
It further added that hundreds of acres of lands and houses were washed away or damaged in the natural disaster.
