| [Tolo News] At least six Afghan coppers were killed in a roadside mine blast in southern Ghazni province on Monday, local officials said. The incident happened at 11:30 am in Peerka area of Chaghto district of Ghazni when their car was struck by mine, Zorawar Zahid, police chief of Ghazni told TOLOnews. No group including the Taliban has grabbed credit for the attack. The incident happens as Taliban have closed the routes to Jaghury and Qarabagh districts of Ghazni province for the last two week. Ghazni officials said that the Taliban have warned drivers not to use the highways. Previously Provincial officials said that Afghan and foreign forces are making efforts to wipe out the Islamic fascisti soon. Insurgents plant Improvised Explosive Devices to target Afghan and foreign forces in the country, but such kabooms often claim civilian lives. Militants have increased their activities since the beginning of spring season in Afghanistan and have targeted some Afghan officials and government buildings recently. |
