Three children were killed following a rocket attack in southern Helmand province, an official said on Monday.

The incident took place in the Shawol area of Nad Ali district late on Sunday, the governor’s spokesman, Omar Zwak, told Pajhwok Afghan News.

He said the Taliban fired several rockets at a check-post manned of the Afghan National Army (ANA), but some of them landed close to populated areas.
