GHAZNI — A child was killed and two others were injured on Monday, June 15, 2026, when an unexploded ordnance shell detonated in the Kewan area of Ghazni city’s third police district. Khalid Sarhadi, spokesperson for the local police command, confirmed that the explosion occurred when a group of nomadic (Kuchi) children discovered and attempted to move the remnants of the unexploded weapon. The fatal incident follows two separate ordnance explosions in Helmand Province just a day prior—which left one child dead and six others wounded—underscoring the persistent, lethal threat that decades of unexploded remnants of war continue to pose to civilians across Afghanistan.
