Zaeem said unexploded military supplies left from decades of war often cause casualties among children in Afghanistan.
According to the director, on Friday, two children were killed and two others wounded when they were hit by an unexploded mortar shell in Logar province. The children were collecting firewood when the incident happened.
The United Nations data showed that at least 118,443 people were killed as a result of armed conflict in the country since December 2008, when the UN started the official recording of civilian casualties.
