Afghan civilian killed, two injured by IED in Zabul
ZABUL, Afghanistan – One Afghan civilian woman was killed and two others were injured, including a 4-year-old girl, when an improvised explosive device detonated near Shin Kai village, in Zabul province July 27.
The three Afghan females were traveling into Shin Kai village by horse when a pressure-plate IED detonated, killing one of the women, according to coalition officials.
The victims were picked up by an Afghan civilian and brought to a forward operating base where they received medical treatment from Afghan National Army soldiers and coalition forces. The victims were airlifted to the nearest medical facility in Qalat to receive treatment.
“Once again the enemies of Afghanistan have shown their ruthless disregard for the lives of ordinary Afghan citizens,” said a coalition forces spokesperson. “Insurgents continue to plant IEDs along roadways, district centers, schools, farms, and other locations, which are injuring and killing Afghan citizens."
