A powerful explosion rocked Afghanistan's eastern Nangarhar province on June 22 morning, killing at least two civilian and wounding over a dozen others, officials said.
"The incident occurred at 05:30 a.m. (0100 GMT) inside a warehouse of weapons, collected under disarmament program from people in Farm-e-Ada area, outside provincial capital Jalalabad, wounding 20 persons," spokesman of provincial administration Ahmad Zia Abdulzai said.
It took place close to residential areas and that was why caused catastrophe to civilians.
Meantime, Baz Mohammad, the deputy to health department in Jalalabad city told Xinhua that two persons including a child were killed in the bloody incident while two Afghan soldiers are among the injured men.
Ten of the injured have been discharged from the hospital after receiving first aid while the remaining including three in critical condition are under medical treatment, Mohammad added.
However, the officials did not say if the blast was due to militants' involvement or merely an accident.
Taliban militants, whose regime was toppled in 2001, have vowed to intensify assaults targeting interest of government and international troops this year in the war-torn country.
