| [Tolo News] A roadside kaboom blast in Kandahar killed 4 police and maimed 6 civilians yesterday evening, officials said. The maimed were rushed to a nearby hospital. The news was confirmed by the commander of 404 Maiwand Zone in Kandahar. "Four Afghan police were killed and six civilians were maimed in the kabooms," 404 Maiwand Zone told TOLOnews. A roadside kaboom is said to have been planted near a bus station and the target was a convoy of local police passing by the area. No group has officially grabbed credit for the incident yet. Kandahar is one of the most volatile provinces in the south where Afghan and foreign forces are carrying out operations to clear it of krazed killers. Insurgents usually use Improvised Explosive Devices to target Afghan and foreign forces, but such kaboom often claim civilian lives. |
