IS claims responsibility for explosion in Kabul bus killing seven

Islamabad [Pakistan], November 9: The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for an explosion in the Afghan capital Kabul that killed at least seven civilians. In a statement through its mouthpiece Amaq, the extremist group said that its fighters detonated an explosive device inside a bus on Tuesday evening.
According to police, another 20 civilians were wounded in the attack in Dasht-e-Barchi, a Hazara Shia neighbourhood in Kabul city. Since the Taliban's return to power in August 2021, attacks have significantly reduced in the war-torn country. However, so-called Islamic State offshoots are still considered to be active in the country and also claim attacks from time to time.(dpa)
