Naqeebullah Masroor, the head of press and public relations for the Taliban police in Takhar, stated that the incident happened in the Mosque Mohajerin area of the district. According to him, security forces have transferred the injured person to the district clinic for treatment. Afghanistan remains a high-risk area for explosions caused by leftover explosive devices from years of war and continuous conflict. Such explosives annually affect civilians, causing numerous casualties and injuries. The International Committee of the Red Cross reports that in the Solar Year 1404 (2023-2024), 217 incidents stemming from the explosion of landmines and unexploded ordnance were recorded in the country, resulting in 92 deaths and 375 injuries. This data indicates that despite the Taliban administration\u2019s claims of providing security, the dangers posed by leftover explosive materials remain serious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A hand grenade explosion in Takhar&#8217;s Khwaja Ghar district kills one, injures another amid ongoing risks from leftover war explosives in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":25726,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-important-news","category-security-incidents"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25727"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25727\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
