Afghanistan
4 Taliban militants killed, 2 wounded in a premature IED blast in Faryab
2018-12-20
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least four Talibs were killed and two others were maimed in a premature kaboom triggered by an Improvised Explosive Device in northern Faryab province of Afghanistan.

The 209th Shaheen Corps of the Afghan Military in the North in a statement said the incident has taken place in the vicinity of Sherin Tagab highway.

The statement further added that the bully boyz were busy planting an Improvised Explosive Device when the incident took place.

The Talibs and other bully boyz including ISIS often use improvised bomb as the weapon of their choice to target the security forces and government officials.

However,

in majority of such attacks the ordinary civilians are killed while in some cases the Talibs are themselves blown up in premature kabooms.

Anti-government elements must immediately end the indiscriminate and disproportionate use of all improvised bombs (IEDs) in areas frequented by civilians, said UNAMA in a special human rights
...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedom at the convenience of the state...
report released few weeks earlier.

The special report ‐ titled "Increasing Harm to Afghan Civilians form the Deliberate and Indiscriminate Use of Improvised Explosive Devices" ‐ documents a sharp increase from 1 January ‐ 30 September 2018 in the killing and maiming of Afghan civilians by IEDs, which have caused almost half of the civilian casualties from conflict-related violence.
