Sixteen people, including children, died when their vehicle was blown up in Afghanistan's southern Kandahar province, the Interior Ministry says.
The attack took place in Arghandab district, an unstable area with a strong Taliban presence.
This is the latest of several deadly attacks.
The UN says May was the worst month for civilian casualties in Afghanistan since 2007.
Earlier, at least three people - including the commander of a rapid reaction police unit -p were killed and 12 injured in a suicide attack in Khost province, in the east of the country.
Militants in Afghanistan frequently target the police and military.
