Eleven wounded in Kabul market explosion
Kabul’s EMERGENCY Hospital says 11 people who were injured in an explosion in Kabul were brought to their Surgical Centre in the city on Wednesday afternoon.
Emergency Hospital officials said in a post on X that the explosion occurred at around 14:00 local time at a second-hand clothing market in the busy Pamir Cinema district (PD1).
“So far, we have received 11 wounded people at the hospital. Among them are a three-year-old girl, a four-year-old boy, a sixteen-year-old boy, two women and six men, one of whom is in critical condition,” explained Stefano Gennaro Smirnov, EMERGENCY’s Deputy Country Director in Afghanistan.
“The explosion took place at a second-hand clothes market when it opened and people crowded to get in. This is the Pamir Cinema neighborhood, one of the most densely populated in Kabul. Many of those affected by this attack will be living in conditions of severe poverty,” he said.
