Three security forces were killed in a bomb blast in Baghlan

Security sources in Baghlan reported that three security forces were killed in a car bomb blast in the province.

Abdul Hadi Nazari, spokesman for the 217th Pamir Corps, said the incident was caused by the explosion of a car full of explosives, which had been identified by security forces near North Bizbagh and had been detonated before reaching the target.

Mr. Nazari adds that three security forces lost their lives and three others were wounded in the blast.

But the Taliban have issued a statement claiming that more than 50 security personnel were killed and wounded in the incident.
