Blast Rocks Kabul, Taliban Launches Probe
Several explosions struck Kabul late Thursday evening near Abdul Haq Square, close to ministries and intelligence buildings. Witnesses heard blasts around 9:50 pm local time, and some also reported a second explosion in the Shar-e-Naw area.
Official Response
The Taliban’s spokesperson, Zabihullah Mujahid, said investigations have begun and reassured the public that no casualties or damage have been confirmed so far. He asked residents not to worry while officials clarify the cause.
Unclear Cause, No Claims
It is still unknown who carried out the attack or what triggered the explosions. No group has claimed responsibility, and independent verification of the blasts and their effects is pending. Security forces have cordoned off the area to collect evidence.
Challenges Ahead
In volatile Kabul, such incidents amplify fears over stability. Verifying claims, protecting civilians, and restoring public reassurance will be key. Authorities must balance transparency with security in handling the investigation.
