It is not yet clear why the attack was carried out or how old the minor was.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mojahid denied responsibility for the attack in a message to media on Friday.

The attack comes as closed door peace talks reached a breakthrough on July 9 when a group of prominent Afghans, including some government officials acting in a personal capacity unofficially agreed on a roadmap with the Taliban as to how they might get towards a peace deal.
The United States has been in on-again, off-again peace talks with the Taliban for months but the development is the first time Afghans have made an agreement of this nature.
