The bombing killed a child, aged 12, and wounded five others nearly of the same age.
Following the incident, the Algerian gendarmerie announced the opening of an investigation, although the residents of the municipality confirmed in statements to local media that the region had been known since the 1990s for a large number of mines planted by terrorists.
