According to Afghan media, two explosions occurred near the Abdul Rahim Shahid High School in the western part of Kabul. Most of the deceased are students of this school.

Taliban representatives reported that six people died and 11 were injured as a result of the explosions. However, eyewitnesses claim that the number of casualties is much higher than reported by officials.

According to a teacher at the school, Zakaria Ulfat, the first explosion occurred as students were leaving the school, resulting in the deaths of about 20-25 students. It is reported that among the deceased are small children.

The second explosion occurred during the transportation of the injured and deceased, but there is no exact data on the number of casualties from the second explosion. Reports indicate that the death toll is rising.

Another explosion occurred at the “Mumtaz” educational center.

A police representative in the Afghan capital, Khalid Zadran, tweeted that there are casualties among the Shia population of Kabul.

Former Afghan President Hamid Karzai and former Chairman of the High Council for National Reconciliation Abdullah Abdullah strongly condemned the incident, stating that it is “the work of enemies who do not want peace and development in Afghanistan.”

The Iranian authorities also condemned the terrorist attack in the western part of Kabul.

In May of last year, a blast in the same area of Kabul killed 85 people, including schoolgirls.
