KANDAHAR CITY (Pajhwok): Officials in southern Kandahar province say civilian casualties Taliban-planted landmines have recently surged.
According to information, at least 30 civilians were killed and wounded in roadside bombings in the province last month.
Civilian casualties increased after the militants closed Kandahar-Arghistan, Kandahar-Maroof and Kandahar-Uruzgan highways and barred people from travelling on the routes.
Musa Jan, a passenger who traveled to Kandahar from Uruzgan through long and difficult routes, blamed the Taliban for warning drivers and people against travelling on . . .
