Afghanistan has been ranked as the "least secure" country in the world, according to a survey.

The survey evaluated around 120 countries based on the safety and security of the country's citizens.

This report comes after Afghanistan retained its position in the Global Peace Index for five years as the world's "least peaceful" country, Khaama Press reported.

However, Singapore was rated as the most secure, with a score of 96 in the survey report, according to Khaama Press.

Acts of terror, killings, blasts and attacks have become a regular affair with unabated human rights violations involving ceaseless murder of civilians, destroying mosques and temples, assaulting women, and fueling terror in the region.
