A suicide bomber killed at least 25 civilians and wounded another 30 at a funeral for a village elder in a remote part of eastern Afghanistan late on Tuesday, local officials said.
Ahmad Zia Abdul Zai, a spokesman for the provincial governor, said the attack took place on Tuesday in the village of Shagai in the Durbaba district.

Initial reports said at least 10 civilians were killed. Officials later said more than a dozen people died of their injuries.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but there has been fighting against Taliban and other insurgents in the mountainous region located just across the border from some of Pakistan's lawless tribal areas.
Latifullah, the local police chief's secretary who goes by one name, said the target was apparently district chief Hamisha Gul, who was attending the funeral and survived the attack.
The Taliban often target government officials at public functions, including funerals and weddings.
