Gunmen stormed a Sikh temple in Kabul on Saturday, hurling at least one grenade, killing two and injuring seven others, according to the interior ministry and witnesses.

While the number of bombings in Afghanistan has decreased since the hasty US withdrawal in August, several deadly attacks have occurred in recent months.

"I heard gunshots and blasts coming from the gurdwara," Gurnam Singh, a Sikh community leader said as quoted by AFP.

On his account, Interior ministry spokesperson Abdul Nafi Takor stressed that a grenade blast wounded two members of the Sikh community.

A car bomb detonated in the area minutes later, causing no casualties, he added.

The number of casualties could rise, according to local witnesses.

On his account, Indian Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi stated that the ministry is deeply concerned with the attacks, waiting for further information on the situation.

"We are deeply concerned at the reports emanating from Kabul about an attack on a sacred Gurudwara in that city. We are closely monitoring the situation and waiting for further details on the unfolding developments," the official said.

Since reclaiming power in the country in August 2021, the Taliban movement has been battling a local chapter of IS, which is believed to be responsible for the majority of terrorist attacks and bomb explosions in Afghanistan. 

The presence of IS in the country is minimal, and the movement has been working to eliminate the group, according to the Taliban.
