A wave of deadly attacks hit Afghanistan Sunday.
The Taliban said last week it would launch a spring offensive Sunday against the U.S.-led coalition and its allies.
On the first day of the announced offensive, violence across Afghanistan has killed at least 8 people and wounded about two dozen others.
Afghan authorities say a 12-year-old suicide bomber wearing a vest filled with explosives blew himself up in the Barmal district of the eastern Paktika province, killing four people and wounding 12 others. the Taliban claimed responsibility for the bombing in a marketplace in the southeastern province of Paktika. The dead includied the head of a district council in the Shakeen area.
In southwest Ghazni, a bomb planted on a bicycle wounded at least 11 people when it exploded near police headquarters. Also in Ghazni, a gunman killed two policemen and wounded a bystander. Insurgents ambushed a police vehicle, triggering a gunfight in which two policemen and two civilians were killed.
A roadside bomb blast killed two including a guard in the Charkh district of Logar province.
And, an Afghan soldier was shot dead by gunmen on a motorbike in Kandahar city.
The U.N. chief in Afghanistan, Staffan de Mistura, had asked insurgents to not indiscriminately use improvised explosive devices, and he urged Afghan and coalition forces to better regulate air strikes and night raids.
The Taliban has said it will target military bases and convoys, as well as Afghan officials, but continues to murder civilians.
