Three separate explosions killed 11 people and wounded dozens of others in Afghanistan's southern Kandahar province on Tuesday, officials said, the latest in a series of attacks in the volatile region. In the first attack, four children and a policeman were killed when a suicide bomber blew himself up near a police checkpoint in Kandahar city, said Zalmay Ayoubi, a spokesman for the Kandahar governor.
"The bomber was on a motorbike and detonated his explosives before reaching his target," he told Reuters. Later on Tuesday two separate explosions killed six and wounded 19 in the same city, Ayoubi added.
