A Taliban-led explosion also occured last week on Thursday near police headquarters in Aino Mina Township in the city of Kandahar. Two days before this attack on police HQ another explosion occured when a roadside bomb killed at least nine civilians and left 35 others injured on Monday last week.

The incidents of violence have not stopped even after Doha talks where Taliban representatives held meeting with Afghan delegates as well as US negotiators in Qatar in a bid to end the 18-year war in Afghanistan. During the two-day intra-Afghan talks in Qatar's capital, the country's warring sides agreed upon a "roadmap for peace" with a pledge to eliminate civilian casualties.

Since then, there have been a series of attacks in different parts of the country already ravaged by the devastating war.
