Meanwhile, the number of casualties of the suicide attack at a funeral in eastern Nangarhar province has climbed to 32 killed.

It comes as the two attacks prompted widespread condemnation.
So far, no group or individual has claimed responsibility for the attacks. The Taliban militant group in a statement denied its involvement in the attacks.
