KABUL: At least four Afghan security force members, including a commander, were killed and seven were critically injured in multiple attacks in eastern and southern provinces of Afghanistan on Saturday, officials said.
No militant group immediately claimed responsibility for the three attacks, which come amid an upsurge in violence in Afghanistan as clashes intensify between government forces and Taliban insurgents.
A string of near-daily roadside bombings in recent weeks has killed government officials, judges, journalists and activists.
The bloodshed comes as US-brokered peace talks in Qatar between the Taliban and representatives of the Afghan government have staggered in recent months.
