Roadside bomb kills one, wounds 20 in Afghanistan’s Jalalabad

Twenty people were also wounded, most of whom were civilians, a spokesman for Nangarhar Province governor, Ataullah Khogyani, said.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but Daesh has carried out a string of bombings and attacks on government offices, schools, and aid groups in recent years in Jalalabad, Nangarhar’s main city. Last week, an assailant targeted a police vehicle in Jalalabad, killing at least nine people, including civilians, local officials said.
