A mortar shell hit a wedding ceremony in northern Afghanistan, killing at least seven people, mostly children, and wounding at least four others, a police front man said.
Taliban Death Eaters attacked a government security checkpoint in the district of Tagab and one of their mortar shells hit a civilian house, Kapisa provincial police front man Shayeq Shoresh said Sunday. He said the attack happened the night before.
But Taliban front man Zabihullah Mujahid in a tweet accused police of firing several mortar shells toward the civilian house, causing the casualties.
Both the Taliban and government forces routinely blame each other for attacks. The assailants are rarely identified and the public is seldom informed of the results of investigations into the many attacks in the capital.
The United Nations

has repeatedly demanded both sides take more precautions to protect civilians. In the first three months of this year, the U.N. mission in Afghanistan said 1,783 civilians had been killed or maimed in Afghanistan, up 29% over the same period last year.
Recently, Afghan national defense and security forces and the Taliban have increased operations against each other in most of the provinces of the country, where most often civilians are caught in the crossfire.
