bigwig for the Ghani Khail district, Mawlawi SediqUllah confirmed the earth-shattering kaboom and stated that the maimed were taken to a nearby hospital.

The explosion targeted the Head of the Ghani Khail hospital, but no group has yet claimed the responsibility for the earth-shattering kaboom which killed and maimed at least 30 people in eastern Afghanistan.

The explosion comes at a time when the Sikh temple in Kabul was targeted and attacked by the ISKP also known as the ISIS-Khorasan, killing at least two people.

In addition to that, Kabul has lost 4 people to two separate explosions which are reported to have injured at least 10 other people.

Despite the Taliban’s assertions that security has been maintained since their control of Afghanistan, explosions have occurred in certain places, including Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan.

The recent explosions have targeted mosques, training centers, and passenger vehicles, government officials and even the Taliban forces, resulting in multiple casualties.
