Kabul, March 23 (TNS): A suspected suicide bomber has killed at least 15 people and injured dozens more in a car bomb attack on a sports stadium in the Afghan province of Helmand.

The blast happened at a wrestling match at the Ghazi Muhammad Ayub Khan stadium in the region’s capital Lashkar Gah.

The car was reportedly driven into a crowd outside the stadium.

A police spokesman said that the blast happened by the venue’s entrance gate after the match had ended.

Afghanistan has seen a surge in attacks in recent months targeting state security forces and civilians.

On Wednesday a suicide car bomb attack killed 31 people at Nowruz New Year celebrations in Kabul.

The Islamic State (IS) group claimed that bombing, but no-one has so far said they were behind Friday’s stadium blast.
