Twin bombings cause several fatalities in Afghan capital

At least seven people killed and six others wounded when separate bombs hit two minivans in a mostly Shia neighbourhood in Kabul, Afghanistan’s interior ministry says. Separate bombs hit two minivans in a mostly Shia neighborhood in the Afghan capital, killing at least seven people and wounding six others, the Interior Ministry has said. The attacks targeted minivans on the same road about 2 kilometers (1.25 miles) apart in a neighborhood in western Kabul on Saturday, Interior Ministry deputy spokesman Ahmad Zia Zia, said. It wasn’t immediately clear what type of bombs were used and no one immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks. The Daesh group has carried out similar bombings in the area, including four attacks on four minivans earlier this month that killed at least 18 people.
