An explosion in Kabul killed at least one woman and injured three others, according to Afghan police Spokesperson Khalid Zadran on Saturday.

"At least one woman died, three other people were injured by a magnetic bomb in... Kabul. Security officers arrived at the scene and launched an investigation," the Spokesperson wrote on Twitter.

In the last few weeks, Afghanistan has been plagued by a succession of devastating bombs. Two explosions rocked Afghan Mazar-i-Sharif, in the province of Balkh, on Thursday, killing at least 9 people and injuring 13.

One of the explosions occurred near an educational center, while another struck a vehicle. The terrorist organization Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the twin explosives.

In another instance, an explosion targeted a mosque in Afghanistan’s Mazar-i-Sharif, killing at least 40 people and injuring over 100, Tolo News reported, citing local health authorities.

Yesterday, the walls of a mosque in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, shook due to a powerful explosion on Friday, which killed at least 10 people and wounded 20, reported a Taliban spokesperson. 

Hundreds gathered to pray on the last Friday of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. The Khalifa Aga Gul Jan Mosque was packed, a resident mentioned, expressing worry that the casualty toll could increase.
