MOSCOW (Sputnik) — A bomb explosion in the Afghan province of Kandahar killed one policemen and one civilian as law enforcement attempted to defuse a roadside mine, spokesman for the governor Samim Ikhpelwak told local media.
Five more police officers were injured by the explosion.
The bomb was presumably a roadside mine planted by insurgents to target security forces, the Afghan agency TOLOnews reported.
A southern province, Kandahar is often a target of Taliban insurgents attacks and an area of fierce clashes between militants and government troops.
