Funeral held for victims of Kabul minivan blast
Relatives and friends on Sunday gathered to bury their loved ones a day after a blast hit Afghanistan’s capital Kabul.
A magnetic bomb attached to a passenger minivan exploded in the Golay-e-Mahtab Qala area in PD13 of Kabul’s Dasht-e-Barchi on Saturday, causing an unknown number of casualties, Reuters reported.
Two people had been killed and three more wounded in the explosion, an Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) official said.
Citing an IEA official and local residents, Reuters reported that at least six people had been killed and at least seven wounded in the blast.
So far, no group or individual has claimed responsibility for the blast. The area is heavily populated by Hazaras who have been the target in a series of attacks by the ISIS-K (Daesh) group.
