At least six people were killed and 11 wounded in three blasts that rocked a boys’ school in a Shi’ite Hazara neighbourhood of Kabul today, police in the Afghan capital said, RFE\/RL reported.<\/p>\n
Khaled Zadran, a spokesman for the Kabul Police Command, told RFE\/RL that the explosions occurred at the Abdul Rahim Shahid High School, located in the capital’s western neighbourhood of Dasht-e-Barchi.<\/p>\n
There were children among the casualties, although it was not immediately clear how many.<\/p>\n
A security official told the German news agency DPA that the blasts were caused by hand grenades. No group has claimed responsibility for the blasts.<\/p>\n
The school is located in the capital’s western neighbourhood of Dasht-e-Barchi, an area mainly inhabited by the Hazara community and previously targeted by the militant Islamic State group, RFE\/RL reported.<\/p>\n
Kabul police spokesman Khalid Zadran said on Twitter that the blasts “caused casualties among our Shi’ite brothers.”<\/p>\n
A Taliban Interior Ministry spokesman said a team of investigators had begun work at the scene.<\/p>\n
The explosions occurred as students were coming out of their morning classes, a witness said.<\/p>\n
In May 2021, bombings near a school in the same area of the Afghan capital killed at least 85 civilians, mainly schoolgirls, and injured dozens of others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
