This dialogue is being held to end the war that has been going on in the country for decades. In Ghor, the spokesman of the provincial governor, Arif Aber, said that the explosion was so loud that its sound was heard till the capital Feroze Koh.
“It has partially damaged some government buildings, including the office of the Chief of Police, the Department of Women’s Affairs and the Provincial Office for Refugees,” Aber said. On Friday, the Taliban agreed to stop the attack in South Afghanistan, due to which thousands of people had to face displacement in recent times.
