An unexploded ordnance from past conflicts detonated in eastern Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province on Wednesday, killing a shepherd, according to local police. The blast occurred in Spinghar district, provincial spokesperson Sayed Tayeb Hemad said.
Last week, a similar incident in neighboring Kunar province left one child dead and six others injured, News.Az reports, citing Xinhua.
Afghanistan remains among the world’s most heavily mine-contaminated countries, with leftover munitions continuing to endanger civilians.
