Jalalabad: At least seven civilians, including a women and three children, were killed when their truck hit a roadside bomb in eastern Afghanistan yesterday, officials said.
The villagers were travelling from Pacheer Agam district to a nearby village in Nangarhar province, Hijratullah Rahmani district governor of Pacheer Agam said.
"Unfortunately, in the blast, seven civilians, including a woman and three children were killed and one wounded," he said. No one claimed responsibility, but the interior ministry in a statement blamed "enemies of peace and stability," a term Afghan officials use to refer to Taliban.
