An explosion shook the Afghan capital of Kabul in the area surrounding the Russian embassy, killing and injuring between 15-20 people, Russian news agency Sputnik reported on Monday.

Earlier in the day, Reuters reported that the blast was a suicide bombing, and the incident was confirmed by the Russian embassy.

"From 15 to 20 people were killed or injured due to the explosion," the source said.

The blast took place when a Russian diplomat came out of the building to name visa applicants, the source added. "A Russian diplomat was also injured in the explosion in front of the Russian embassy."

It was later reported that two embassy staffers have been killed in the attack, with the Russian Foreign Ministry confirming the casualties.

An IED explosion killed four children and injured three others in Helmand on Saturday, the Afghan authorities reported, noting that the explosive device was brought by one of the children to their school.

The children were playing with an IED left over from the US-waged war on the country. "Four children were killed, and three were injured while playing with an unexploded ordnance remnant of war they brought to their school," the office of the police chief of the Helmand province said.

"The ages of the victims range between 7 and 14."

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

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

Clashes erupted between Taliban militants and IS-K militants in early August in the country's capital.

The Taliban came to power in Afghanistan following an incredibly chaotic withdrawal of US troops and the end of the US occupation of the country.
