Islamic State claimed on its Telegram account its accountability for suicide assault that killed at the very least six civilians in Afghanistan’s capital Kabul on Monday, Reuters information company reported.
Police had stated that the assault occurred close to a safety checkpoint resulting in the international ministry, the report added.
The UN mission in Afghanistan condemned the continual focusing on of unusual Afghans.
“Reports of quite a few casualties in immediately’s assault in #Kabul – at the very least one baby amongst them. It is unacceptable that unusual Afghans proceed to be focused as they go about their each day lives,” United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) said in a tweet.
This latest blast was the second attack near the foreign ministry in less than three months, and the first since the Muslim holy month of Ramadan began on Thursday in Afghanistan.
Earlier in January, an IS attack near the ministry killed at least five people.
