KABUL(Xinhua) — Six Taliban insurgents were killed when their explosive device went off prematurely in Afghanistan’s Helmand province, 555 km south of capital city of Kabul, provincial government said on Monday.

“Six Taliban insurgents were busy in planting a mine on a road in Sangin district of Helmand province Sunday but their explosive device detonated prematurely, killing all rebels on the spot,” a statement issued by Helmand provincial government here said.

Taliban militants who largely rely on roadside bombing and suicide attacks have yet to make comment.
