Police spokesman Khalid Zadran said the explosion occurred in the eastern part of the city, in Alokhail area. Police have launched an investigation and one suspect has been detained, he said. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but Daesh group’s affiliate in the region has in the past carried out attacks often targeting Shiites, whom Daesh considers to be apostates. Over the weekend, Daesh group claimed responsibility for a minibus explosion in western Kabul that killed at least five people. The IS affiliate has been a major rival of the Taliban since the latter seized control of Afghanistan in August 2021 as US and other troops withdrew. Daesh militants have struck in Kabul and in northern provinces.
