However, the explosion in Nimroz province has raised concerns among the local population.
Reportedly, many are waiting for the official confirmation about the incident.
Notably, security concerns have been raised in Afghanistan as authorities investigate the cause of the explosion at the Taliban governor's office in Zaranj city.
Moreover, the repeated instances of violence and explosions in Afghanistan showcase the ongoing security challenges that the people of Afghanistan face.
