A suicide bomber detonated explosives in Afghanistan's capital city, Kabul, on Monday (Sep&nbsp;2), killing six people and injuring 13 others. In a post on X, Kabul Police spokesperson Khalid Zadran said, "This afternoon, a person wearing explosives on his body detonated."

"Unfortunately, six civilians, including a woman, were killed and 13 others were injured," Zadran added. According to the Taliban interior ministry, the explosion took place&nbsp;in the southwestern area of Darul Aman.

The injured were&nbsp;transferred to hospitals, and investigations were ongoing, Zadran further said in the post on X.

Afghanistan's Taliban authorities have declared security their highest priority since surging back to power following the chaotic withdrawal of foreign forces three years ago.

While their sweeping security operations have led to a decline in militants challenging their rule, according to analysts, they also downplay or delay confirmation of attacks.

This attack in Kabul comes months after a suicide attack happened in&nbsp;Kandahar and was claimed by the regional chapter of the Islamic State (ISIS).&nbsp;Taliban authorities said only three people were killed, while a hospital source put the toll far higher at 20, a report by the news agency AFP said.
