| [Tolo News] At least five non-combatants were killed in a mine blast in southern Ghazni province on Wednesday, local officials said on Thursday. Yesterday a civilian car was struck by a roadside mine in Zargar area of Ghazni city, Zorawar Zahid, police chief of Ghazni told TOLOnews. No group including the Taliban has grabbed credit for the incident. Insurgents often plant roadside mines to target Afghan and foreign forces in the country. Also two Talibs were killed and one other was hurt in a clash with Afghan forces in Ander district of Ghazni, Mr Zahid added. The maimed have been captured with some weapons by Afghan forces. Taliban have not yet commented about the attack. Violence has recently increased in the country while Afghan forces are preparing to take over security responsibilities of seven areas in July this year. |
