Bomb attack kills 5 Afghan civilians

The incident occurred on Tuesday when an improvised explosive device (IED) ripped through a minibus carrying civilians in Sayed Abad district, killing five civilians, including women and children.

“A mine planted by the enemies of Afghanistan detonated under a civilian minibus. Five civilians including women and children have been killed. Two others are injured,” a provincial government spokesman said.

Hospital sources, however, said 6 people were killed in the attack.

However, several other passengers survived the attack.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the bombing.

In a similar roadside bomb attack on Monday, five other people were killed in northern Afghanistan. Earlier, 23 more people lost their lives in another militant attack before south of the war-ravaged country.

IEDs are by far the most lethal weapon Taliban militants have used against Afghan forces, foreign troops, and civilians in recent years.
