At least five people, including some children, were killed and seven others injured as a blast ripped through a bazaar in Shindand district of Afghanistan's western Herat province on Monday.

The anti-government militants placed explosive device into the cavities of a bicycle and detonated it in Shindand bazaar in the evening killing five civilians on the spot, official said.

Although no group has claimed responsibility for the deadly bombing, the official did not rule out the involvement of Taliban militants in the attack, reports Xinhua.
