A terrorist attack in Afghanistan's Logar province killed at least 17 civilians, while 21 people were injured. The attack took place in a crowded market when people were shopping for Eid-al-Adha or Bakrid. A three-day ceasefire was announced between the Afghan government and the Taliban in view of Bakrid, but the bombing came hours before the ceasefire was to begin. However, Taliban in a statement from spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, denied any role in the bombing.
