Roadside bomb kills 6 civilians in southern Afghanistan
Six people, including three children and two women, have been killed in a roadside bomb explosion in southern Afghanistan, Press TV reports.
The victims were killed on Thursday after their car hit the bomb near the city of Spin Buldak of Kandahar Province, bordering Pakistan, a police official said.
Roadside bombs and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are by far the most lethal weapon Taliban militants use against Afghan forces and foreign troops.
Insecurity continues to rise across Afghanistan despite the presence of about 130,000 US-led forces in the country.
The US-led war in Afghanistan, which has caused record-high civilian and military casualties, has become the longest military conflict in the American history.
