|
[ToloNews] Five civilians, including four women — one of them pregnant — and a child, were killed in a kaboom in downtown Kabul that targeted a bus carrying low-ranking employees of two government ministries on Monday afternoon.
The blast happened a day after two similar blasts targeted two civilian buses in Kabul’s west on Sunday evening.
Monday’s blast targeted a bus that carried the employees of the ministries of education, information and culture, and the Afghan Post, which operates under the Ministry of Telecommunication and Information Technology. Such buses are usually hired on a monthly basis by babus government employees.
Khatira Mayil, a pregnant mother, was killed with her three-year-old child in the earth-shattering kaboom. She was expecting her second child to be born soon.
At least 13 others, all civilians, were maimed in the earth-shattering kaboom, according to officials.
