KABUL, Dec 11 (NNN-ANA) – Two civilians were killed and three others injured, as a blast targeted a mini-bus in Dasht-i-Barch area of Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul yesterday, Interior Ministry spokesman, Qari Sayed Khosti, confirmed.
“Two civilians were martyred and three others sustained injury, as a blast ripped through a mini-bus in Dasht-i-Barchi area this (yesterday) afternoon,” Khosti said.
However, eyewitnesses believed that the number of casualties could be higher than reported.
The official also confirmed that another blast, almost in the same area, injured a woman yesterday afternoon, but he didn’t provide more details.
No group or individual has claimed responsibility for the explosions.
The blast took place at 3:25 p.m. local time and targeted a mini-bus in Dasht-i-Barchi area, a suburb of Police District 13 in Kabul, eyewitnesses said.
Daesh, the hardliner militant outfit, had in the past claimed responsibility for subversive activities, including bomb attacks on two mini-buses in Dasht-i-Barchi district, over the past couple of months.– NNN-ANA
