Several deaths have been feared after bombs rocked a boys’ faculty in a Shiite Hazara neighbourhood of the Afghan capital on Tuesday, police said, with social media displaying grisly pix of useless and wounded at the scene.
Kabul police spokesman Khalid Zadran advised AFP that improvised explosive devices have been located outside the Abdul Rahim Shahid excessive school inside the capital’s western Dasht-e-Barchi neighbourhood.
He in advance tweeted that 3 blasts had rocked the school, which is in an area especially inhabited by means of the Hazara network and has been formerly focused on using the jihadist Islamic State organization.
Tuesday’s blasts occurred as students were coming out of their morning classes, a witness told AFP.
Victims were taken to hospital, but Taliban fighters kept journalists from the premises.
Attacks on public targets have largely diminished since the Taliban seized power in August last year, but the jihadist Islamic State group continues to operate across the country.
Taliban officials insist their forces have defeated IS, but analysts say the jihadist group is a key security challenge to the hardline Islamists who now rule Afghanistan.
In May last year at least 85 people mainly girl students — were killed and about 300 were wounded when three bombs exploded near their school in Dasht-e-Barchi.
No organization claimed responsibility, but in October 2020 IS claimed a suicide attack on an educational centre within the identical vicinity that killed 24, such as students.
In May 2020, the institution became blamed for a bloody assault on a maternity ward of a health centre within the neighbourhood that killed 25 people, as well as new moms.
