An explosion of the Afghan army’s military vehicle in the Afghan capital due to a roadside bomb has claimed the life of at least one soldier and injured at least one more, local media reported Saturday citing sources.

MOSCOW, August 20 (Sputnik) — According to the Khaama Press news agency, the improvised explosive device was planted in the army vehicle before it exploded in the Qala’e Zaman Khan district of Kabul.

The Taliban extremist group has already claimed responsibility for the attack on the military convoy.

Afghanistan is experiencing significant political, social and security-related instability, as radical extremist organizations, including the Taliban, continue to stage attacks against civilian and state targets. The Taliban now controls more territory than at any time since 2001, according to the United Nations.
