Afghanistan Mine Blast

One child was killed and another was wounded after an explosive device left over from a past conflict exploded in the Deyak district of Afghanistan's eastern Ghazni province, Khaama Press reported on Monday.

Afghanistan Coal Mine: Seven workers were killed and several more feared dead in northern Afghanistan after a gas explosion caused a coal mine to collapse, an official said on Wednesday.

Nine Afghan children were killed on Saturday when a mine exploded as they walked to school, police said, the latest victims in a growing toll of civilian casualties in the war.
