Afghanistan: Helmand blast leaves two dead

| @indiablooms | Dec 19, 2020, at 10:54 pm

Kabul: A roadside bomb blast in Afghanistan's southern Helmand province on Saturday left at least two people killed and four others wounded, media reports said on Saturday.

Tariq Arian, spokesman for the Ministry of Interior (MoI), told Pajhwok Afghan News the early morning blast took place in Loy Manda area.

He said two civilians were killed and four others wounded in the blast, blaming Taliban militants for planting the explosive device.

Helmand deputy police chief Mohammad ZamanHamdard told Pajhwok a corolla type vehicle struck a roadside bomb, in which two people were killed and two others wounded.

But a source, wishing anonymity, told Pajhwok that three people were killed and two others wounded in the blast.

The Taliban did not comment on the matter so far.
