Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Nine civilians were killed in a road mine explosion in Afghanistan's Baghlan province, a spokesman for the province's governor said Sunday.
Six women and a child were among the dead, Mahmood Haqmal said, adding that some of the victims may have been from the same family.
A Toyota Corolla hit the mine while driving from the Pol-e-Khomri district to the Dand Shabuddin village, Haqmal said.
Elsewhere, six Afghan civilians were killed in another road mine explosion Saturday in Helmand province, the provincial governor's spokesman said. The Taliban is believed to be behind the blast, Daud Ahmadi said.
A spokesman for the Interior Ministry said Sunday that "72 terrorist and destructive attacks" occurred last week, mostly in the provinces of Kunar, Nangarhar and Helmand.
"In total, 14 policemen and 26 civilians were killed and 37 policemen and 44 civilians were injured in the entire country," Zmary Bashari said.
