KABUL, Aug 24, (Xinhua): A teenage boy lost his life and four others sustained injury as an unexploded ordnance, which had been left over from the past wars, went off in eastern Afghanistan's Wardak province on Saturday, said a news release of the provincial police office on Sunday.
The incident took place in Chak district when some teenagers were playing on a ground, killing one on the spot and injuring four others, the news release added without providing more details.
The war-torn Afghanistan reportedly is one of the mine-contaminated countries in the world, as the unexploded devices left over from the past more than four decades of war often kill or maim people, mostly children, every month in the country.
