The Islamic State (IS) has claimed responsibility for two explosions that rocked Kabul on Friday and Saturday. On Friday, at least 8 people were killed when explosives placed near a vegetable cart detonated in a crowded Shi’ite neighborhood in Western Kabul. The source added that it was likely the death toll would increase since many of the wounded had critical injuries. This bomb also exploded in an area of the city where members of the minority Shi’ite Muslim community regularly meet. IS, which is a Sunni militant group, claimed responsibility for the second attack, Reuters stated.
