An official in the provincial hospital confirmed they received 3 soldiers and 2 civilians including a young boy from the site of the blast.

He said the health condition of the wounded soldiers and civilians is satisfactory and are undergoing treatment in the hospital.

No group including the Taliban militants has so far claimed responsibility behind the incident.

Herat is among the relatively peaceful provinces in western Afghanistan but the anti-government armed militants have recently increased to their insurgency activities in a number of its remote districts.

The Taliban insurgents and militants belonging to the other militant groups are frequently using magnetic bombs to target the government and security personnel.
