A plane carrying 15 Afghans whose bid for asylum in Germany was rejected has arrived in Kabul.
According to reports, the flight from the Bavarian capital of Munich brought the number of rejected Afghan asylum seekers to be flown out of Germany since December to 92.
The Bavarian Interior Ministry said the rejected asylum seekers included single unmarried men, some of whom had committed a criminal offence in Germany.
However, the nation has tightened its deportation laws in the wake of a political backlash after it admitted about 890,000 refugees, mainly people fleeing wars in the Middle East and Africa, in 2015.
In addition to Bavaria, six other German states, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Brandenburg, Hamburg, Hesse, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Rhineland-Palatinate, have also stepped up moves to send home failed asylum seekers.
