Afghanistan: Explosion targets a security forces car in Kabul.
The Afghan government confirmed that an explosion occurred today in the center of the capital, Kabul.
The Ministry of Interior's deputy spokesman Aqil Jan Azam said, "The explosion occurred in the 9th Security District of Kabul, and targeted a security forces vehicle, wounding two of its members."
He stressed that investigations had begun into the accident, while no party had yet claimed responsibility for the explosion.
For its part, the local Aswaka news agency quoted eyewitnesses saying they heard "shooting after the explosion."
Since the chaotic US retreat last summer and the Taliban's return to power last summer, Afghanistan has witnessed a series of ISIS terror attacks aimed at destabilizing the country and hindering all efforts to progress.
On Tuesday, the intelligence chief of Bati Kot district in the eastern Afghan province of Nangarhar was killed in an IS-led attack in response to a major offensive he had launched earlier against the terrorist group.
On November 12, 2021, an explosion rocked a mosque in the Afghan province of Nangarhar during Friday prayers, killing at least 3 people and wounding 15 others.
In one of the attacks in the same period, ISIS fighters stormed the Kabul National Military Hospital, killing at least 19 people and wounding more than 50.
On Tuesday, the Foreign Minister of the Taliban government, Amir Khan Mottaki, revealed that he met in Tehran the leader of the Afghan opposition, Ahmed Masoud, and assured him of the possibility of his return to Afghanistan without any fears.
