An Afghan official says a mortar attack has killed five children in eastern Afghanistan.

 

Sarhidi Zwak, spokesman for the governor of the Laghman province, said they ranged in age from six to 12 years old.

 

No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, but officials suspect the Taliban, who are active in the province.
