| [Quqnoos] At least 2 Afghan soldiers were killed and 4 others injured in a suicide attack in southern Afghanistan, Saturday, officials said. The attacker detonated his explosive-laden vehicle at the front gate of a military base in Shajoy district of the restive Zabul province. "The car filled with explosives hit the compound of Afghan National Army (ANA) that martyred two and wounded four soldiers," said a spokesman for Afghan Defence Ministry, Maj Gen Zahir Azimi. An army official in Zabul told Quqnoos that the incident took place around 08:00am in a village outside the district centre. This is the second suicide attack that has been occurred in southern Afghanistan, targeting Afghan security forces. Three days earlier, a bomber attacked a police convoy in the south western Nimroz province that left three policemen dead and four others wounded. |
