Afghanistan explosions Kabul/UNI/Xinhua: At least two Taliban security force members and four civilians were killed and nine people wounded in two separate explosions in Afghanistan on Wednesday, multiple sources confirmed.
In eastern Nangarhar province, two Taliban soldiers were killed and three Taliban soldiers and a passing by school teacher were wounded after a roadside bomb struck a Taliban pickup truck in Police District 8 of the provincial capital of Jalalabad at mid-day, a health official from a regional hospital told Xinhua.
"The wounded were admitted to Nangarhar Regional Hospital as they were receiving treatment in an intensive care unit in the facility," the source said on condition of anonymity.
No group has claimed responsibility for the explosion so far.
The Islamic State (IS)-affiliated militants have presence in the mountainous region. The IS group opposing the Taliban government has claimed responsibility for several bomb attacks since Taliban's takeover in August.
In northern Kunduz province, four members of a family were killed and five others wounded when an unexploded ordnance was detonated accidently inside a house in Mano locality of provincial capital of Kunduz on Wednesday morning, local resident Mohammad Nabi told Xinhua.
According to Nabi, a member of the family had brought the explosive device home from a nearby abandoned security checkpoint for sale.
Qari Yousuf from Kunduz Regional Hospital confirmed the incident, saying some of the wounded were in critical condition.
