ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—A bomb attached to a packed minivan exploded in Afghanistan’s western Herat province on Saturday, killing at least six civilians and wounding nine others, Taliban representatives said.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for the explosion, but the ISIS terrorist group has claimed credit for similar attacks on civilians in the country since the Taliban terrorist group seized power on Aug. 15.
