On 15 July 2019, a landmine detonated on a road in the Khakrez district of Kandahar province as a truck of religious pilgrims, en route to a Sufi shrine, drove by and initiated the explosive device. Authorities stated that the explosion killed 11 people and injured at least 35 others, including 22 children who sustained critical injuries. No group claimed responsibility for the attack, but local authorities claim the Taliban is likely responsible as the group is very active in Kandahar province.
