阿聯酋證實，其5名外交官星期二死於阿富汗南部城市坎大哈的一次炸彈襲擊事件。

The blast killed a total of at least 11 people and wounded 16 others, mostly top Afghan government officials. Provincial governor Homayun Azizi and UAE ambassador to Kabul, Juma Mohammed Abdullah al-Kaabi, were among those wounded.

爆炸總共至少炸死11人，另有16人受傷，其中大部分是阿富汗政府高級官員。傷者包括省長阿齊茲和阿聯酋駐喀布爾大使卡阿比。

The UAE foreign ministry said Tuesday that its ambassador traveled to Kandahar on a humanitarian mission aimed at helping Afghan orphans and announcing scholarships.

阿聯酋外交部星期二表示，其大使前往坎大哈執行人道主義使命，旨在幫助阿富汗孤兒以及宣佈獎學金計劃。

The Taliban insurgency has denied involvement, saying it did not plant the bomb and instead blamed an "internal local rivalry" for the attack.

塔利班反政府組織否認與這次事件有關，稱並未安置炸彈，而是指責“內部地方敵對勢力”對襲擊負責。
