Afghanistan: Four bombs kill at least 12 in Afghanistan

KABUL, 26 May 2022, (TON): Officials said “four bombs ripped through minibuses and a mosque in Afghanistan, killing at least 12 people, with at least some of the attacks claimed by the Islamic State group.”

The number of bomb attacks have dropped across the country since the Taliban seized power last year in August, but several deadly bombings had rocked the country during the holy month of Ramadan.

A health official and police said “at least 10 people were killed when three bombs placed on board separate minibuses exploded in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif.”

Balkh provincial police spokesman Asif Waziri told media "the bombs were placed on three minibuses in different districts of the city.”

Najibullah Tawana, head of the Balkh health department, said “three women were among the 10 killed in the blasts on board the vehicles.”
