KABUL (SW) – The Interior Ministry has confirmed that at least 24 people got killed and 57 others got injured following a blast in the capital Kabul.
The explosion occurred in the Dasht-e-Barchi neighborhood.
Interior ministry spokesman Tariq Arian said in a statement that a suicide bomber wished to enter an academic institute, but was identified by the security guards.
There has been no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
A day earlier, Amnesty International said despite ongoing peace talks between the Taliban and the Afghan government in Doha, civilians continue to pay the price for the conflict that killed at least 50 people in the past week alone.
