At least 15 people died and 27 were wounded in a blast in Afghanistan's Aybak City on Wednesday, local media reported.
A doctor in Aybak, about 200 kilometres (130 miles) north of the capital Kabul, said the casualties were mostly youngsters.
"All of them are children and ordinary people," he told AFP, asking not to be named.
A provincial official confirmed the blast, but could not provide casualty figures.
