(MENAFN- QNA) A teacher and two students were killed when a rocket struck a school compound in eastern Afghanistan on Sunday, government officials said.
In the worst affected provinces, families are too afraid to send their children to school and some have closed until further notice.
Four other people were injured in Sunday's attack in Logar and it was so far unclear who was responsible, district chief said.
The education ministry condemned the attack in a statement.
Schools have closed in provinces worst hit by the fighting, which has escalated since the withdrawal of most foreign troops in 2014
