A suicide bomber on foot targeted a wedding party in Afghanistan’s eastern province of Nangarhar on Friday, killing at least six people and injuring 14, local officials said according to 1tvnews.af.
Atahullah Khogyani, a spokesman for Nangarhar province’s governor, said a 13-year boy set off his explosives inside the house of a pro-government militia commander, named Malik Toor, in Pacheragam district.
Taliban denied their involvement in the deadly attack, but Islamic State militants have carried a string of suicide bombings and attacks on government offices, schools, and aid groups in recent years in Jalalabad, Nangarhar’s main city.
