KABUL, Nov. 7 — One person, obviously a bomb planter, was killed due to a blast on Friday morning in Kunduz city, the provincial capital of northern Afghanistan’s Kunduz province, a local police official confirmed.
The blast occurred when explosive materials being carried by an individual detonated prematurely on the outskirts of the city’s Police District 8, according to Jumadin Khaksar, the provincial police spokesman.
Security forces responded immediately to the incident, said the official, adding that initial findings indicate the individual intended to carry out an attack, but the blast occurred before the plan could be executed.
Authorities were investigating the incident to determine the exact cause and identify any potential links to broader threats.
No group has yet claimed the attempted attack. (Xinhua)
