Second car bombing strikes Helmand just days after similar blast in Lashkar Gah

Sunday’s bombing targeted a military vehicle… the victims included both soldiers and civilians.
The blast comes just days after a deadly car bomb attack near the main police headquarters in Lashkar Gah.
So far no one has claimed responsibility, but there has been a series of attacks since the Taliban launched its so-called Spring offensive. On May 31, a massive bombing in central Kabul killed more than 150 people.
