Deadly Suicide Explosion in Kabul Leaves 6 Dead, 13 Injured
Kabul security command reported that in today's explosion (Monday, September 2) in the Qala-e-Bakhtiar area of the sixth security district of Kabul city, six people were killed and thirteen others were maimed.

Khalid Zadran, the spokesperson for the Kabul security command, said in a statement that the attacker had concealed explosives on their body and detonated them in the Qala-e-Bakhtiar area.

Zadran also mentioned that the injured from this incident were promptly transferred to hospitals, and investigations regarding the matter are ongoing.

So far, no group has grabbed credit for the attack.
Khaama Press’s take:
The Kabul Police Command reports that today’s explosion in Kabul resulted in the deaths of six civilians, including one woman, and injured 13 others.

Mohammad Khalid Zadran stated in a press release that this afternoon, Monday, September 2, an individual detonated explosives in the Bakhteyar Khail area of the sixth district. As a result, six civilians were killed, and 13 others were wounded.

Meanwhile, witnesses have reported that the explosion in Kabul targeted employees of the Taliban’s Department of Command and Control.

Photos from the scene show at least eight bodies on the ground and the injured have been transferred to a hospital, and investigations into the attack have commenced.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.

The increasing frequency of such attacks is contributing to a growing sense of insecurity in Afghanistan. The resurgence of Daesh (ISIS) in the region has intensified the threat of violence, exacerbating the already volatile situation.

The activities of Daesh have escalated, leading to more frequent and severe attacks that undermine stability.

This rise in violence not only affects Kabul but also has broader implications for regional security, prompting concerns about a potential spillover of extremism into neighboring areas.
