The incident occurred in the Hussainkhail area of Dand Patan district, where a 12-year-old child died on the spot, and four others sustained injuries, according to the report, Xinhua reported.

Afghanistan remains one of the most heavily mine-contaminated countries in the world, as decades of war and civil unrest have left behind a deadly legacy of unexploded ordnance and landmines, posing ongoing risks to civilians, including children.
