KANDAHAR CITY (PAN): Two Afghan National Army (ANA) soldiers were killed and two others, including a police and a civilian, injured in separate explosions in the capital of southern Kandahar province, officials said on Monday.

The first blast took place in the Tirinkot bus stand on outskirts of 9th municipality district on Sunday night, when a police vehicle was passing the area, the governor's spokesman, Jawed Faisal, told Pajhwok Afghan News. One civilian was injured in the blast.

He said the second blast occurred on Monday morning when a team of the Afghan National Army (ANA) engineering corps was trying to defuse a bomb, injuring one army soldier.

But an ANA commander, speaking on condition of anonymity, said two soldiers were killed and a policeman injured in the explosion. A statement from the ministry of defence said two soldiers were injured in the blast.
