Two people were killed and 12 others were injured after an explosion in Kabul on Thursday, Afghanistan-based Khaama Press reported citing officials. Taliban-appointed Kabul security department spokesperson Khalid Zadran said the explosion was due to a grenade blast that occurred in Kabul\u2019s PD 18. He said that an investigation is being carried out to find the perpetrator.<\/p>\n
In a separate incident, another explosion was reported in northern Mazar-e-Sharif. Authorities have not shared any information regarding potential casualties, Khaama Press reported. These recent explosions follow a bomb blast that occurred in Kabul on Tuesday, claiming the lives of at least three people.<\/p>\n
The United Nations mission in Afghanistan has indicated that this blast specifically targeted the ethnic Hazari community in the western Dasht-e-Barchi area of Kabul, according to Khaama Press report. The repeated instances of violence and explosions in Afghanistan showcase the ongoing security challenges that the people of Afghanistan face.<\/p>\n
ISIS-Khurasan has claimed responsibility for the attack on civilians in Kabul\u2019s \u201cQala-e-Nazir Station,\u201d which claimed the lives of two people and injured 14 others, according to Khaama Press report. Khalid Zadran said the explosion occurred at around 6 pm (local time) on Saturday. He stated that the attack involved a minibus vehicle.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the Khurasan branch of ISIS claimed that 20 individuals were killed in this explosion. Previously, seven people were killed and 20 others were injured in a bombing attack on a city bus in the Dasht-e-Barchi area. Since the Taliban assumed control of Afghanistan, ensuring security has been a significant challenge for the group.<\/p>\n
Terrorist attacks continue to occur in the country, resulting in the loss of innocent civilian lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
