Three injured in eastern Afghan blast

Xinhua, December 10, 2015 Adjust font size:

Some three people were wounded Thursday in an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attack in Khost city, capital of Afghanistan's eastern province of Khost, police said.

"Two police officers and one civilian sustained injures after the IED was detonated near Ghazi Babrak Khan park in the morning. The injured were shifted to a nearby hospital and none of the injured received life-threatening wounds," deputy provincial police chief, Mohammad Yaqoub, told Xinhua.

The police officers were conducting a patrol when the incident occurred in the city, 150 km southeast of Afghan capital of Kabul, the source added.

No group has claimed responsibility for the incident yet.
