Kabul, Afganistan: Afganistan again witnessed the bloody shades, at least 34 people have been killed in two separate suicide bombings that targeted a military base and a provincial chief.
As per an Afganistan official in Afghanistan’s national security council, In eastern Ghazni region, 31 soldiers were killed and 24 others injured on Sunday when an attacker drove a military vehicle full of explosives onto an army commando base before detonating it.
The attack was also confirmed by internal ministry spokesman Tariq Arian, though he did not provide details on mishaps.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, when contacted by an international news agency, did not confirm or deny responsibility.
Afghanistan has witnessed a spate of car bombings over the last few months, despite peace talks currently underway between the Kabul government and the Taliban in Qatar.
That is the first time the two sides hold face-to-face talks to try to end the country’s decades-long war.
In southern Afghanistan, a suicide bomber targeted the convoy of provincial council chief Attajan Haqbayat in Zubal, killing at least three people and wounding 12 others, including children.
Haqbayat survived the Sunday attack with minor injuries, though one of his bodyguards was among those killed, said provincial police spokesman Hikmatullah Kochai.
There were no immediate claims of responsibility.
Attacks have hit more than 50 people in the capital Kabul in recent weeks, including two assaults on educational centres and a rocket attack.
The three Kabul attacks were claimed by the armed group ISIL (ISIS), but Afghan officials blamed the Taliban – which has denied any involvement.
