KABUL, Feb. 17 (Xinhua) -- Two people were killed after an unexploded shell detonated inside a residential house in western Afghanistan's Farah province, according to a statement released by the provincial police office on Tuesday.
The incident took place in Pusht-e-Koh district when an unexploded munition reportedly exploded after being struck inside the home. Both victims died at the scene, the statement said.
Officials have called on residents to exercise extreme caution when encountering unexploded ordnance or other suspicious objects, urging citizens to promptly inform security authorities if they come across similar materials.
Unexploded remnants of past conflicts continue to threaten civilian lives across Afghanistan, particularly in rural and remote areas where such devices may remain undiscovered for years.
