Afghan media recently cited military sources as saying that a bomb blast in the northern province of Balkh on the 13th killed 30 members of the seminarians who participated in a bomb workshop, and the military had trouble identifying the bodies of six of them.
A spokesman for the 209th “Falcon” (Shaheen) Corps said in a statement that the bombing occurred at a mosque in a village in Balkh’s Dowlatabad district, where six foreign “landmine experts” were training 24 Afghan seminarians. The explosion early in the morning of the 13th left 30 people dead at the same Time.
The statement noted that the explosion was so powerful that the remains of the six “foreign instructors” could not be identified.
The Defense Post reported that the seminarians often use homemade bombs to attack government forces and foreign troops, leaving thousands of civilians to die with them, but news of the seminarians making or being trained to assemble explosives has also been reported from time to time, with a similar explosion in August 2020 even destroying a large quantity of explosives they had found.
