[KhaamaPress] At least two Talibs were killed and three others sustained injuries in an kaboom triggered by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED).

The 205th Atal Corps of the Afghan Military in the South said in a statement that the incident has taken place in the vicinity of Shaikan area of Meezan district.

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

According to 205th Maiwand Corps, at least two Death Eaters were killed in the kaboom and three others sustained injuries.

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

report released in late 2018.

The special report ‐ titled "Increasing Harm to Afghan Civilians form the Deliberate and Indiscriminate Use of Improvised Explosive Devices" ‐ had documented 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.
