Unidentified attackers in eastern Afghanistan threw a grenade at a house, killing two children, Tolo News Network reported on Tuesday.
Afghan police revealed that three family members were injured in the attack, which took place in the Surkh-Rōd district of Nangarhar province.
Last June, at least five people were killed in an explosion near the Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Kabul police spokesman Khalid Zadran highlighted that the explosion occurred in Kabul’s diplomatic district, Zanbaq Square, around 4 p.m. local time.
Zadran did not indicate how many people were injured, though the humanitarian organization Emergency said its surgical center in Kabul had received over 40 patients following the blast.
“This is the first mass casualty in 2023, but certainly one of those with the most patients since the beginning of 2022. So much so that we have also set up beds in the kitchens and canteen,” Emergency’s Afghanistan director Stefano Sozza said in a statement.
