PUL-E-KHUMRI, Afghanistan, July 3 (Xinhua) -- Two Afghan policemen were killed and five people injured after an armored police vehicle was struck by a Taliban improvised bomb in northern Baghlan province Friday morning, the district chief confirmed.
"The incident occurred in Hafiz Bacha locality of Nahrin district in the morning. Those among the injured were the Nahrin district police chief," Fazluddin Muradi told Xinhua.
The affected people were travelling to surrounding areas of the district, where Taliban militants established a checkpoint along a road, disturbing local villagers' normal life, according to Muradi.
The injured were shifted to a main hospital in provincial capital Pul-e-Khumri, the official added.
The Afghan national defense and security forces remain in control of most of Afghanistan's population centers and all of 34 provincial capitals, but Taliban insurgents control large portions of rural areas, staging coordinated large-scale attacks against Afghan cities and districts from time to time.
