ISIS claims responsibility for attack on civilians in Kabul
[KhaamaPress] According to reports, ISIS-Khurasan has grabbed credit for the attack on civilians at the "Qala-e-Nazir Station" west of Kabul, which resulted in the deaths of two individuals and injuries to 14 others.

Khalid Zadran, the spokesperson for the Kabul police, confirmed that the earth-shattering kaboom occurred around 6:00 PM on Saturday night, in the vicinity of the sixth security district of Kabul city at the "Qala-e-Nazir Station." He stated that the attack involved a mini-bus vehicle, resulting in two deaths and 20 injuries.

In a statement, the Khurasan branch of ISIS claimed that 20 individuals were killed in this explosion.

Previously, in the aftermath of a bombing attack on a city bus in the Dasht-e-Barchi area,
...the West Kabul neighbourhood where the Hazaras live. They get massacred regularly, as both the Taliban and ISIS-K consider them heretics...
seven people were killed, and 20 others were maimed.
ISIS-K claimed that one, too.
It’s worth noting that the ISIS Khurasan branch has previously taken responsibility for deadly attacks against followers of the Shia community in Afghanistan at public places, including clubs, schools, mosques, educational centers, and hospitals.

Since the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
assumed control of Afghanistan, ensuring security has been a significant challenge for the group. Unfortunately, terrorist attacks continue to occur in the country, resulting in the loss of innocent civilian lives.

The Taliban’s efforts to establish stability and security in Afghanistan have faced ongoing obstacles, and these attacks underline the difficulties they encounter in maintaining peace and order in the region.
An earlier Khaama Press article on the subject clarifies the location:
An explosion in western Kabul left two dead and fourteen wounded on Saturday evening. Khaled Zadran, the spokesperson for Kabul police, confirmed an explosion in the “Dasht-e Barchi” area of Kabul city. He stated that in this explosion, two people were killed, and fourteen others were injured.

Mr. Zadran did not specify the nature of this explosion but mentioned that it targeted a mini-bus vehicle.

Local sources report that this explosion occurred around 6:30 near Qala-e Nazar.

No individual or organization has claimed responsibility for the explosion.
