KABUL (UNAMA) condemned yesterday’s killing of 12 civilians, including eight children, in southeastern Paktika province, a statement from the UNAMA said on Friday.
The children were returning home from school for the weekend, when the vehicle in which they were travelling detonated a pressure-plate improvised explosive device (PPIED) placed on a main public road in Paktika province.
“Children are once again the main victims of these indiscriminate and illegal weapons,” said Pernille Kardel, the Secretary-General’s Deputy Special Representative for Afghanistan.
