He said two policemen and six civilians were killed in the explosion and twenty two people including policemen and civilians wounded, according to the Afghan (Khaama Press).
The sound of the explosion was such huge that was heard in very far areas in the city of Lashkargah.
Dead bodies and human flash was seen at the site of the attack with the blood on the ground everywhere.
Those wounded were yelling for help. Most of the wounded were transported to the Bost Hospital in Lashkargah.
