Twin suicide bombers on a motorcycle struck an Afghan market in the southern province of Nimroz on Monday, killing themselves but causing no other casualties, officials said.
The interior ministry said the attackers with “suicide-loaded vests” blew up their motorcycle at around 8:50 am (0420 GMT) in the Haji Zahid market of Dilaram district, but that “fortunately nobody was killed or injured”.
Government and police officials said there was a nearby police post, but that the target was unclear.
“The attack took place near the Haji Sharif roundabout and a police checkpost was also nearby,” Nimroz police chief Abdul Jabar Pordili told AFP.
A spokesman for the Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, but gave no further information.
