Herat governor, Sayed Abdul Wahid Qatali said the incident took place around 2:45 PM on Saturday.

Qatali added that the bomb targeted a vehicle carrying the Khaf railway personnel in the Ghorian District of Herat Province.

The governor didn’t provide further details about the incident.

So far, no group or individual has grabbed credit for the blast.
