At least three Afghan security officers were killed, and more than 36 people were injured, when a truck bomb exploded close to a police headquarters in Alishang, Laghman province on Wednesday. The Taliban reportedly took responsibility for the attack.
At least 20 of the wounded people are reportedly children who were attending a religious school close to where the explosion took place.

We couldn't see anything in the area because of the smoke. That was so bad," said Azatullah, one of the children that were rushed to the hospital.
