A suicide attack outside the Taliban Foreign Ministry in Kabul on Wednesday shook Afghanistan. Five people died in this attack and many others were injured. Officials have given information about this.
Kabul police chief Khalid Zadran said an explosion occurred on the street outside the Afghan foreign ministry, killing five people and wounding several others.
The Islamic Emirate condemns such aimless and cowardly attacks on Muslims, Zadran said. The culprits will be found and punished.
More than 40 wounded were brought to a surgical center in Kabul run by the Emergency NGO, a humanitarian organization. Stefano Soza, director of emergencies in Afghanistan, said the number of casualties was rising as the situation unfolded.
He said that the death toll is still rising steadily. This is the first mass casualty in 2023, but definitely, the most people injured since the beginning of 2022. We have also put beds in the kitchen and canteen.
There has been no claim of responsibility for the attack so far. But the Islamic State group's regional affiliate - known as Islamic State in Khorasan Province - has stepped up its attacks since the Taliban took over Afghanistan in 2021. Targets have included Taliban patrols and members of the country's Shia minority.
The Taliban-run administration has faced an insurgency by IS militants, who have targeted foreigners at some sites including the Russian and Pakistani embassies and a hotel for Chinese businessmen, Dawn reported.
Former Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who lives near the ministry, condemned the blast as an act of terrorism, a crime against humanity, and all human and Islamic values. The United Nations also condemned the attack.
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said that this is another example of growing insecurity which is of great concern to us. This is no way to bring any kind of peace to Afghanistan.
The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) in a statement expressed its condolences to the affected families and said that violence is not part of any solution to bring about lasting peace in Afghanistan.
UNAMA tweeted, UNAMA condemns today's attack outside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kabul. Several casualties, including civilians, have been reported. Rising insecurity is a matter of grave concern. Violence is not part of any solution to bring lasting peace in #Afghanistan. Our condolences to the affected families.
Several explosions have been reported in Afghanistan since the beginning of 2023. Several explosions have been reported in the capital city this month, including at the Kabul Military Airport.
Since the Taliban took over Afghanistan in August 2021, armed groups linked to the Afghan branch of Islamic State have carried out bombings targeting ethnic Hazaras, Afghan Shias, Sufis, and others, killing and injuring hundreds.
