Bomb explosions in Afghanistan have killed 18 civilians, including 12 children.
A car bomb went off near a police station in the southern province of Helmand on Tuesday, killing a child and an adult.
In the western province of Herat, a roadside bomb struck a bus returning from a wedding. Sixteen civilians, including 11 children, were killed.
