There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks.

-Khorasan (ISIS-K) group.
In November, a similar kaboom on a minibus in Dasht-e-Barch killed two people and maimed five others. That attack was claimed by ISIS-K.
ISIS-K grabbed credit for an October 15 suicide kaboom on a Shiite mosque in Kandahar that killed at least 60 people and injured scores more.
That attack came a week after another deadly mosque blast claimed by the group in northern Kunduz province killed over 60 people.
