This is mentioned at the bottom of the Reuters article:
A bomb has killed 12 women and two children in a cemetery in Afghanistan's eastern province of Nangarhar.
They were visiting the grave of a wife of a pro-government tribal leader during the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, when the device went off.

The graveside bombing is the latest in a series of attacks in the province on the border with Pakistan.
