At least three people were killed and 18 others wounded in an explosion in Afghanistan’s capital Saturday, an Afghan Ministry of Public Health official said.
The attack was in the Macrorayan district of Kabul, according to health ministry spokesman Wahidullah Mayar, who said it was “probably (a) suicide attack.”
Five women were among the injured, Mayar added.
Last week, a suicide bomber detonated his car at a checkpoint near the entrance to Kabul International Airport, killing four people and wounding 15 others, Afghan officials said. The Taliban claimed responsibility.
On August 10, three separate attacks in Kabul killed more than 50 people, including 27 students at a police academy and one U.S. service member. The Taliban claimed responsibility for two of the attacks.
