FAIZABAD, Afghanistan, Nov 8 (NNN-ANA) – A child lost his life and two others were injured, due to a landmine blast in north Afghanistan’s Badakhshan province, a statement by the provincial police office said today.
The incident took place in Jarm district yesterday afternoon, the statement said, without providing more details.
A similar incident claimed the lives of two children and injured another in Darzab district, of the northern Jawzjan province, a month ago.
Afghanistan reportedly is one of the most landmine-contaminated countries, as the unexploded devices left over from more than four decades of war claim lives of over a dozen people, mostly children, each month, in the country.
