The incident happened in police district nine of the provincial capital.

Nangarhar, a stronghold of the Taliban and Islamic State terror group, is rich in plains and is one of the most important areas for agriculture in Afghanistan.

A police spokesperson said they were investigating the incident, but no one has been arrested yet.
