| [Tolo News] At least one child was killed and another was maimed in a mine blast in western Herat province on Sunday, local officials said. The incident happened in the 6th district in Herat province at 02:30 pm local time when a mine struck a police car, Noor Khan Nikzad, a front man for police chief of Herat told TOLOnews. One child was killed and his father was maimed in the incident, he added. Mr Nikzad said a police car has been damaged, but police has suffered no casualties in the incident. No group including the Taliban has grabbed credit for the incident. Insurgents use Improvised Explosive Devices to target Afghan and foreign forces in the country. Most of the victims are civilians. Violence has increased recently in Afghanistan and faceless myrmidons have mainly targeted civilian spots in the country. |
