Officials say a roadside bomb attack killed at least 10 people late Monday in the northwestern Afghan province of Baghdis.

Afghanistan's interior ministry says the bomb exploded near a police vehicle, leaving two police officers and at least eight civilians dead. Several more were wounded.

An interior ministry spokesperson blamed the Taliban for the attack, calling it “un-Islamic.” He said both women and children were killed.

The bombing took place on the second day of the major Islamic holiday of Eid el-Adha, or the “feast of sacrifice.”

It was not the first attack during Eid in Afghanistan.

On Sunday, a roadside bomb killed a district police chief and two of his bodyguards in Afghanistan's southern Helmand province.

Helmand is one of Afghanistan's most violent provinces and sits in the heart of the Taliban's traditional stronghold in the south.

Meanwhile, authorities say a suicide bomber killed seven people in the northern province of Baghlan on Sunday in an attack that was targeting a local tribal elder.
