Blast wounds 4 civilians in North Afghanistan's Kunduz city

 At least four civilians sustained injuries as a bomb blast shocked Kunduz city, capital of Kunduz province, on Monday, a police spokesman in the province Mahfozullah Akbari said.

"A bomb planted by militants went off in Kunduz city today afternoon injuring four innocent civilians including a woman," Akbari told reporters here.

He also blamed the enemies of peace, a reference to the Taliban militants, for launching the bomb attack, but the armed outfit, which is active in parts of Kunduz province, is yet to claim responsibility.

This was the second bomb blast in Afghanistan since Monday morning. In the previous attack, a roadside bomb injured eight civilians in the eastern Nangarhar province.
