Several blasts and attacks have taken place since the Taliban returned to power last year. Most of the attacks were carried out by the local chapter of the Islamic State (IS).

The government said that the authorities are working towards identifying the attackers.

"Our detective and security forces are working quickly to identify the perpetrators of this unforgivable crime and punish them for their actions," Interior Ministry spokesman tweeted.

The rift between the Taliban and the Islamic State has resulted in various attacks across the country.

In September, 54 people were killed when a bomb was detonated in Kabul at an examination hall in Kabul. Most of the victims were young women who were appearing for a practice test.

In 2021, just after the Taliban reclaimed power, 85 people were killed and 300 people wounded due to a bomb blast. In this case, the victims were once again youngsters – mainly young girls.
