- Summary of incident
On July 1, 2017, a roadside bomb exploded as a civilian vehicle passed through Badar Dara in Achin district, killing seven people and wounding five others. Officials provided conflicting accounts of the victims' identities—one official stated there were no children or women among the casualties and accused ISIS (Daesh) of planting the device, while an anonymous security official reported that the dead included two children and two women, with the injured also including one child and two women traveling in a pickup vehicle. No anti-government group claimed responsibility, though ISIS was suspected of the attack.
