Voters line up at a polling station to cast their ballot during the presidential elections, in Jalalabad, Afghanistan.
The Afghan presidential elections will take place nationwide on 28 September amidst a maximum-security alert over the looming threat of violence by Taliban insurgency.
A national peace and a stronger economy are Afghan voters’ main concerns as the country heads to the polls for its fourth presidential election since the fall of the Taliban regime in 2001.
An explosion has occurred near a polling station in the Afghan city of Kandahar just an hour after voters began queuing to cast their vote to elect a new president.
A senior provincial government official said three people were injured by the blast.
