Kabul :One police was killed and three others were wounded while the police vehicle hit a mine planted in the outskirts of Spin Boldak district of southern Afghanistan’s Kandahar province on Saturday evening, an official said.
It occurred at around 7 p.m. (1430 GMT) when police were patrolling on their vehicle in the highway linking Spin Boldak to Kandahar city, Sayehullah the border police commander told Xinhua.
“One police was killed and three more were injured when their vehicle was struck by the roadside bombing in the remote area of Spin Boldak district,” he added.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Attacks on international troops are on the rise during past weeks spreading from the south to the east, while Taliban militants continue to demonstrate their strength through suicide and roadside bombings.
Escalating insurgency and violent incidents have left around 2,000 people dead since January this year in the war-torn Afghanistan.
