(CNN) -- Taliban militants beheaded a 10-year-old boy in southern Afghanistan on Sunday, a provincial governor's office said.
The incident occurred in Kandahar province, the provincial governor's office said Monday.
A press release issued by the office said the militants caught and beheaded the boy after he had collected food waste from a trash bin in the area of a security checkpoint.
The Taliban has not commented on the report.
Insurgents have carried out frequent attacks on security forces across Afghanistan in recent months amid a spring offensive by the Taliban.
