Two attacks in northern Afghanistan have injured two women and scared voters going to vote in the country’s first parliamentary elections since 2010, provincial officials said.
Voters were seen fleeing from a school in the north of the Afghan capital after a blast, according to AFP, with witnesses talking about several explosions at other polling centers.
People are reportedly continuing to cast their votes amid at least three security incidents around polling stations in Kabul.
According to AFP reports, elections in the two provinces of Kandahar and Ghazni have been postponed as well as in 11 of the country’s nearly 400 districts.
Afghans headed to the polls to elect members of the lower house of parliament for the first time since 2010. At least nine candidates have been killed since July 1.
The election was supposed to take place in 2016; however, it had been postponed because of the unstable security situation in the country.
