The security officials confirmed the incident took place at 16:20 local time in the Khwaja Rahimi village of Nadir Shah Kot district in the eastern Khost province.

The explosives were placed in a cycle of violence, an official said.

In another separate incident, Talibs have kidnapped 50 civilians in the Chak district of Maidan Wardak province, local authorities confirmed.

According to Yamin, the Taliban have kidnapped civilians to later ask for an exchange with the Taliban prisoners.
