On 21 April 2020, a remote-controlled improvised explosive device planted by the Taliban detonated inside a privately-owned pharmacy in Khogyani District, Nangarhar Province, wounding eight male civilians including a 13-year-old boy and a doctor from the district hospital. The Taliban had reportedly been threatening one of the pharmacy's owners to pay the group a certain amount of money or face an attack. In addition to the civilian casualties and harm to a healthcare worker, the pharmacy reportedly lost tens of thousands of dollars worth of medicine.
