2020-05-15 |
[ToloNews] A boom-mobile went kaboom!in front of the gate of a Defense Ministry facility in Gardiz city, the center of eastern Paktia province, on Thursday morning, leaving five civilians dead, according to an army front man. Aimal Mohmand, a front man for the Afghan National Army's 203 Thunder Corps, said that 19 others--including five security force members--were maimed in the earth-shattering kaboom. He added that the explosives were placed in a Mazda truck that exploded in front of the gate of the facility at around 8:30am. Photos on social media from the attack scene show the building has been destroyed in the earth-shattering kaboom. In the meantime, the Ministry of Defense (MoD) in a statement said that a jacket wallah attempted to detonate a truck-bomb at the gate of the MoD’s building in Gardiz city, Paktia, but was shot before reaching target, said MoD. However, you can observe a lot just by watching... the vehicle went kaboom!, killing five civilians and wounding 24 others, it said. The Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... has grabbed credit for the attack.
