KABUL — More than 80 Afghan students and teachers — most of them girls — were apparently poisoned over the past two days, local officials said Monday, in incidents that, while causing no critical injuries, mirrored recent attacks on schoolgirls in neighboring Iran.

Shafiullah Rahimi, a spokesman for the Ministry of Disaster Management, said that “in one school, three teachers and 60 students were affected. In the second school, four teachers and 22 students were affected.”All students and teachers were in stable condition by Monday morning, said another official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters.
