The explosion was followed by an attempt to storm the compound in Kotal-e-Rawza area in the city of Ghazni at around 7:45 pm, but all attackers were killed before entering, said the Interior Ministry front man Tariq Arian on Saturday night.
The source said that the maimed have been taken to Kabul by helicopter for treatment and three are "at death's door."
"The snuffies were using a Humvee vehicle for the earth-shattering kaboom," the source added.
No group has grabbed credit for the attack so far.

The way to deal with rioters is to take names and remove their right to own guns. Let them know what will happen before starting this and if it does not denture them go to their residences and collect all guns they now own. This does not mean that peaceful protests should be handled this way!

Amazon has serious technical means and this is their home turf. I would expect they've profiled every mobile device in proximity to the store and matched them to the owners.
[WGNTV] reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... ’s top cop said about 100 people were arrested and 13 copperswere maimed after a night of looting in downtown Chicago.Widespread damage was reported throughout Chicago after looting and rioting began around midnight Monday. Witnesses reported hundreds of people smashing their way into stores throughout Michigan Avenue, areas in the South Loop and the near North Side.
Chicago Police Supt. David Brown said the looting started as a result of misinformation following a police-involved shooting in Englewood.
Brown said police were called to the 5700 block of Racine Avenue for a call with a man with a gun. Brown said that suspect was spotted and officers attempted to interview the man but he quickly fled. He said as the man was running away, he pointed a gun at officers and fired shots. Officers returned fire and struck him.
The man, 20, was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and is expected to survive.
Brown said the 20-year-old had four previous arrested including burglary, child endangerment and domestic battery. "He was an aspiring rap artist, turning his life around, possibly the priesthood. Dindu Nuffin"
No officers were maimed during the incident and a gun was recovered at the scene.
After the shooting, the superintendent said a crowd started to gather on the South Side following police action. He said tempers started to flare. Brown said CPD then became aware of social media posts encouraging looting downtown.
About 400 officers were dispatched downtown. The superintendent said caravans of people were seen heading downtown to loot.
Both Brown and Mayor Lori Lightfoot ...the diminutive and vacuous Heronner da Mare of Chicago. When the corpse count rises she blames the guns, which are banned anyway... emphasized that the looting was not a part of an organized protest.
"This was not an organized protest," Brown said. "This was an incident of pure criminality."
WGN’s Judy Wang was on the scene early Monday morning and reported seeing people filling trash bags with merchandise. She also saw crowd trashing the streets outside the stores and turning over garbage cans.
Ald. Brian Hopkins (2nd Ward) told WGN he witnessed people driving up in vehicles, smashing windows of stores on Michigan Avenue and grab items and drive away.

Counterprotesters got involved in a violent confrontation with pro-police supporters at a Back the Blue rally in Fort Collins, Colo. Saturday, which ended with the arrests of three people.
The pro-police attendees said two different groups of counterprotesters -- consisting of Black Lives Matter supporters and what appeared to be members of Antifa -- joined the event. They also claimed a faction from one of those two groups attacked a veteran who was in a wheelchair, according to The Collegian.
Clips featured on a rally goer's Instagram account showed an all-out melee of various protesters beating one another, as people screamed and cursed while they looked on.
Another attendee can be heard on the video saying, "Keep punching each other in the face but don't shoot anybody."
Ciara Wilson, a local high school student who filmed part of the fight, said there were no police to be found as opposing sides battered one another in the grassy ditch.
“Once they get all the way down the street from the police station, it just goes into an all-out brawl in the middle of a grassy pit,” she told The Collegian. “10 to 15 people just piled up on top of each other. Chokeholds, batons, punched in the face all of it, and there were no police.”
A Black Lives Matter rally had been held at Colorado State University earlier that day. Some of those rallygoers went on to the police station to start a counter-protest.
At first, it seemed to be a peaceful conversation between members of the two groups. Once the second group of anti-racism demonstrators --- dressed all in black and thought to be Antifa-- showed up, things escalated and turned violent.
Witnesses claimed the agitators dressed seemed to bait the pro-police protesters with verbal taunting.
FCPS Public Relations Manager Kate Kimble sent an email to The Collegian saying the “physical disturbances” near the station ended with three arrests and one citation.
The booking report showed two men and one woman were arrested for disorderly conduct. One of the men was also booked for allegedly possessing an illegal weapon, while another was hit with a resisting arrest charge.
"We respect everyone’s right to peacefully assemble to voice their concerns,' Kimble added. "For the safety of our community, acts of violence, destruction of property and other unlawful behavior will not be tolerated."

When I lived in Fort Fun the cops were known as ones that didn't play around with people that made trouble. Glad after 15 years the trend is the same.

I support policemen and women. How some ever, there are bad ones and they should be removed. All orders from top cops that police are to write so many tickets should be removed. I remember the days when two policemen rode in one car. You are here to protect me and not to write 12 MPH over tickets on the open hiway!

In June of 2019, I was puzzled to see an electronic billboard near ORD in Chicago that was recruiting info for the Portland PD- a mere 2100 to the west of here. Their department has had difficulty "protecting and serving" that menagerie for a while now.
[Rudaw] Warplanes conducted Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s in Sulaimani province's Qamish village near the town of Mawat early Friday afternoon, according to a local official.
Kamaran Hassan, the head of Mawat town, confirmed the bombardment to Rudaw, saying no casualties have been reported, but agricultural lands were set ablaze during the airstrikes.
The official claims the airstikes were Ottoman Turkish.
"The fire is still not under control, and civil defense teams are at the site attempting to contain the fire," Hassan added.
[Rudaw] Ottoman Turkish air forces bombed at least three areas in Kurdistan Region’s Duhok province on Saturday, according to local officials.
Areas in Deralok, Batifa and Shildaze were hit by Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s on Saturday morning, local mayors told Rudaw.
"The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... has been bombarding the vicinity of the villages of Avla, Banka Sare, Manin and Pirbile [in the area] since 9am," Batifa Mayor Dlsher Abdulsattar told Rudaw.
A civilian vehicle was also targeted in the strikes, according to Abdulsattar. No casualties have been reported.
Turkey launched a new air offensive in the Kurdistan Region on June 15, with the stated aim of removing Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) fighters from its borders with the Region. Residents and wildlife of the mountains have borne the brunt of the campaign, however.
Deralok Mayor Sami Barwari confirmed to Rudaw that Turkey had bombed the mountains and a number of nearby villages.
Video footage submitted to Rudaw by Deralok resident Abdullah Ali showed smoke rising from the Link mountains, with Ali saying Turkey had "intensely" bombed the area, forcing farmers to leave their land.
"The farmers had visited their villages to irrigate their farms but they were forced to leave their villages," he added.
Turkey’s new offensive has been focused on areas in Duhok province’s Zakho region.
[Rudaw] Six suspected Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) Death Eaters were arrested in Sulaimani province earlier this week, the Kurdistan Region Security Agency announced on Saturday.
The six men were arrested in two raids by Sulaimani's Asayesh Operation Forces in and around the town of Chamchammal on August 4 and 5, according to a Kurdistan Region Security Agency statement published by PUKMedia.
The arrests were made "based on information and continued precise monitoring of the Kurdistan Region Asayesh, and the Sulaimani Asayesh Operation Forces, associated with the Kurdistan Region Security Agency," the statement said.
The suspected ISIS fighters were from the south of Iraq, the statement said, and had settled in the Chamchammal area, about 65 kilometers west of Sulaimani, using forged documents and working as gardeners.
"According to the obtained information, the apprehended holy warriors had fled from southern Iraq and intended to build a hideout in Chamchamal to establish a route to get connected with a number of ISIS sleeper cells to reorganize themselves and carry out their activities. But their plots were foiled before they managed to do it," the statement added.
Though its activities have centered on territories disputed by the governments of the Kurdistan Region and Iraq, Kurdish security forces have apprehended Death Eaters in raids in areas under KRG control since that territorial defeat.
But some anti-ISIS operations by Kurdish security forces have not been publicly announced, according to Saturday's statement.
"The Kurdistan Region Security Agency has previously apprehended many other holy warriors in Sulaimani, the Garmiyan administration region and other towns and cities of the Region in which we have kept the information secret for the sake of the safety, continued investigations and the security of the people," it added.

[Jpost] Hamas fired several missiles toward the Mediterranean Sea on Monday morning in a warning to Israel that calm along the border with the Gaza Strip will not last.
The rockets, at least eight of them, were a “message” to Israel that armed groups “would not remain silent” in the face of the continued blockade and “aggression,” a source close to Hamas was quoted as saying by AFP.
Millions of dollars in aid payments by Qatar and an unofficial ceasefire have been key to maintaining quiet in the South, which has been relatively calm in recent months.
Two weeks ago, the Qatar Committee for Reconstruction of Gaza announced it would pay its monthly assistance of $100 each to 100,000 families.
The uptick in violence is believed to be due to Hamas’s concern that Qatari might not continue past September.
The rocket fire came hours after the IAF struck Hamas observation posts in northern Gaza near Beit Hanun in response to the launching of incendiary balloons into southern Israel over the course of the day.
Dozens of incendiary and explosive balloons have been launched into the South in recent days. The Israel Police has defused explosive devices attached to balloon clusters, including in Arad, some 80 km. from Gaza.
On Monday, several fires and explosions in the South were believed to be caused by incendiary and explosive balloons.Last Thursday, the IDF launched retaliatory strikes against targets in northern Gaza in response to balloons that ignited several fires in the South.
“During the day, explosive balloons were launched from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory,” the IDF said in a statement last Thursday. “In response, a short while ago, an IDF fighter jet and an IDF aircraft struck infrastructure used for underground activities of the Hamas terrorist organization in the northern Gaza Strip.”
The firing of the missiles on Monday by Hamas came as tensions continue to rise along the southern border, reportedly due to concerns that the ceasefire agreement between Israel and the terrorist group could collapse.
Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Gaza’s second-most-powerful group, threatened on Sunday that Israel “will bear the consequences of anything that happens to the residents or farmers [of Gaza] as a result of the escalation.”
The warning came after the IDF fired smoke shells into Gaza to evacuate civilian workers who had been working on the perimeter fence and were targeted by gunfire near Kissufim.
Soldiers hurried to the scene of the incident. They and the workers were unharmed.
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Fars News Agency quoted a Pak senator as saying that the Pak government had seized an Iranian oil tanker in the port of Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... at the request of the United States.Senator Rahman Malik, Secretary of the Internal Affairs Committee of the Pak Senate, said: "We have warned against the transfer of Iranian oil to Pakistain. This is an important international issue and will lead to pressure on Pakistain," noting that "the transfer of oil to Pakistain is a violation of the embargo on Iran."
Rahmani added that "the Iranian oil tanker was monitored by an American organization, and this organization informed the Pak government to seize it, and asked it to take legal action regarding the consequences of importing and exporting as well as refining Iranian oil."
For its part, the Iranian Ports and Maritime Organization said that it had not received a notification from Pakistain regarding the seizure of an Iranian oil tanker.
"Pakistain has not officially informed us yet about the seizure of the oil tanker, as we are the state owner of the flag that the tanker flies," Abbas Ahmadinejad, director general of maritime affairs in the organization, told Fars News.
Ahmadinejad indicated that Pakistain should inform the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which in turn informs the port organization to take the necessary measures.

[Al Ahram] Some Lebanese called on Sunday for a sustained uprising to topple their leaders amid public fury over this week's devastating explosion in Beirut, and the country's top Christian Maronite holy man said the cabinet should resign.
Protesters have called on the government to quit over what they say was negligence that led to Tuesday's explosion. Anger boiled over into violent mostly peaceful scenes in central Beirut on Saturday.
Christian Maronite Patriarch Bechara Boutros al-Rai said the cabinet should resign as it cannot "change the way it governs". "Reminder to self: Get a remote car starter"
"The resignation of an MP or a minister is not enough ... the whole government should resign as it is unable to help the country recover," he said in his Sunday sermon.
Information Minister Manal Abdel Samad said she was resigning on Sunday, citing the earth-shattering kaboom and the failure of the government to carry out reforms.
Saturday's protests were the biggest since October when thousands of people erupted into the streets to demand an end to corruption, bad governance and mismanagement.
About 10,000 people gathered at Martyrs' Square, which was transformed into a battle zone in the evening between police and protesters who tried to break down a barrier along a road leading to parliament. Some demonstrators stormed government ministries and the Association of Lebanese Banks.
