The incident unfolded while mine workers were clearing mines left over from previous battles in the Khoramay area of Tarinkot city. It is known that mines and unexploded ordnance from forty years of conflict in Afghanistan sometimes lead to casualties among local residents and employees of mine-clearance organizations.

Previously, in Zabul province, one child was killed, and five others were injured due to the explosion of a leftover mine from past wars.
