6 dead after blast at Afghan stadium

At least six people were killed when three back-to-back explosions struck a cricket stadium in eastern Afghanistan.

Forty-three others were injured in the incident, which occurred in Jalalabad city, the capital of Nangarhar province, according to the governor's spokesman, Attaullah Khugyani.

The explosions took place while a cricket match for the "Ramadan Cup" was being played, Khugyani said, adding that seven of the injured were in a critical condition.

He did not specify what kind of explosions had taken place and no group claimed responsibility.

The incident follows another on Sunday where at least nine people were killed and 36 others were injured when militants attacked a government building in Jalalabad.
