According to local authorities in southern Kandahar province of Afghanistan, at least 6 Afghan civilians were killed following a roadside bomb explosion in this province.

Provincial Security chief Gen. Abdul Razaq said Afghan women, children and men are among those killed following the blast which hit a motorcycle.

The incident took place around 4:00 pm local time on Thursday evening in Spin Boldak district.

No group including the Taliban militants has far claimed responsibility behind the incident.

Local security officials blame Taliban group for such incidents since Taliban fighters frequently use improvised explosive device and roadside bombs to target Afghan and coalition security forces which normally leads to civilians casualties.
