Provincial health director Najib Kamawal confirmed the toll. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack in Nangarhar where the Islamic State group has a stronghold. It comes days after IS claimed an assault on a Shiite cultural centre in Kabul that left 41 people dead and more than 80 wounded.
