PUL-I-ALAM (Pajhwok): A woman and her daughter were killed as unidentified individuals lobbed a hand grenade into their house in central Logar province.

Sayed Ahmad Stanikzai, a tribal elder from Ilyas Khan village where the incident took place, told Pajhwok Afghan News the attack occurred on Monday night.

“Unidentified men threw the grenade into the house of a villager named Abdul Rahman on Monday night, killing his wife and a seven-year-old daughter,” he said.

The tribal elder added the family had no enmity with anyone and the motive behind the incident remained unknown.
