Afghanistan: Fifteen dead in Kandahar blast

Fifteen people, including children, died when their vehicle was blown up in Afghanistan's southern Kandahar province, the Interior Ministry says.

The attack took place in Arghandab district, an unstable area with a strong Taliban presence.

The ministry said another woman was injured in the attack.

This is the latest of several deadly attacks. The UN says May was the worst month for civilian casualties in Afghanistan since 2007.
