The villagers were travelling from Pacheer Agam district to a nearby village in Nangarhar province, Hijratullah Rahmani district governor of Pacheer Agam told AFP. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast, which the Interior Ministry blamed on "enemies of peace and stability," a term Afghan officials use to refer to Taliban militants. Nangarhar is also home to Islamic State group fighters, who are trying to expand their presence in Afghanistan by winning over sympathisers, recruiting followers and challenging the Taliban on their own turf.
At least seven people are killed when their vehicle hits a roadside bomb in Nangarhar Province.
