Afghanistan Police spokesperson Khalid Zadran said that the suicide bomber blew himself up inside an education center.

Another big fidayeen attack has taken place in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. At least 19 people were killed and 27 injured in a suicide attack in a Shia-dominated area of ​​Kabul on Friday morning. This information was given by the spokesperson appointed by the Taliban for the Kabul Police chief. However, claims are being made on social media that around 100 children have died in the attack. It is being told that at the time of the attack, a large number of students were present in the school and were preparing for the examination.

Spokesman Khalid Zadran said an explosion occurred at a center in the Dashti Barchi area early on Friday. Most of Afghanistan’s minority Shia community lives in the area. Zadran said that the casualties included high school students. Afghan Taliban government spokesman Nafi Thakor said without giving details about the accident that the explosion took place early in the morning. The blast took place at an educational institution in the Dasti Barchi area, south of Kabul.

Various claims about death

Afghan police spokesman Khalid Zadran said the suicide bomber blew himself up inside an education center. Many students were preparing for exams at the center during the attack. 20 people were killed in the attack, while more than 27 people were seriously injured. Currently, no terrorist organization has claimed responsibility for this attack. However, different claims are being made on social media regarding the death in the attack. Bilal Sarwari has claimed 100 deaths.

In the videos and pictures released by the local media, the blood of those injured in the attack can be clearly seen. After the attack, the security forces reached the spot and the injured were taken out and shifted to the hospital. Nafi Thakor tweeted this information. “Targeting civilians shows the enemy’s inhumanity, barbarism and lack of human values,” he wrote.

The Taliban took power in Afghanistan last year after two decades of conflict. Everyone had hope from that, which led to a reduction in violence. But due to recent Islamic currents, the atmosphere is getting disturbed again. Shia Muslims in Afghanistan have been facing persecution for many years.

This explosion took place seven days ago

Earlier on September 23, a car bomb exploded near a mosque in the Afghan capital, Kabul, killing at least seven people and injuring 41, including many children. A Taliban official gave this information. No organization has claimed responsibility for the attack. Since the Taliban took power in Afghanistan a year ago, there has been a spate of such attacks.
