Victims who were aged between 10 and 15 were killed on their way to school official says
Nine children have been killed by a roadside bomb near their school in the north-eastern Takhar province, an Afghan official said.
Sayed Mehraj Sadat, the provincial police chief, said the victims of Saturday’s attack were between 10 and 15 years old. He said the bomb’s intended target was most likely Afghan security forces, who often use the road.
