Suicide Bomber Strikes Afghanistan's Helmand Province 

A suicide bomber detonated his explosives-laden vehicle near an army base in southern Afghanistan early Sunday, causing many casualties.

Afghan officials said the attack in Nad Ali district of Helmand province killed at least two Afghan soldiers and wounded several others. But a security official told VOA on condition of anonymity eight Afghan soldiers were killed and nearly a dozen more injured.

The Taliban took responsibility for carrying out the bombing. An insurgent spokesman claimed the powerful blast “killed and wounded” more than 100 Afghan security personnel, though Taliban casualty tolls are often inflated.

Helmand is a major poppy-producing region where most of the districts are controlled or contested by the Taliban.
