KABUL — Three civilians and two militants were killed in Afghanistan Saturday in incidents including the bombing of a tractor in the troubled south of the war-torn country, officials said.

The first explosion took place in Marjah district in the southern Helmand province as a tractor carrying civilians struck a roadside mine, provincial spokesman Daud Ahmadi told AFP.

Separately, two militants were killed in Greshk district of Helmand province Saturday as they tried to plant a mine, an army spokesman said.

“Two enemies of Afghanistan were killed while planting a mine to target innocent Afghans in Greshk district, but their device exploded prematurely, killing both on the spot,” an army spokesman in Helmand, Rasool Mohammad Safi, said.
