Mine blast kills 5 Afghan soldiers

The incident occurred late on Sunday when the soldiers’ military vehicle hit a mine in the Alishing district of the eastern Laghman Province.

Afghan officials say the injured troopers have been transferred to a nearby hospital and are in stable conditions.

No group or individual has claimed responsibility for the attack, but the Afghan officials blamed Taliban militants for the incident.

Insecurity continues to rise across Afghanistan despite the presence of about 130,000 US-led forces in the war-torn country.
