At least seven killed as bombs hit 2 minivans in Kabul, says Afghan official

It wasn’t immediately clear what type of bombs were used and no one immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Separate bombs hit two minivans in a mostly Shia neighbourhood in the Afghan capital on Saturday, killing at least seven people and injuring six others, the Interior Ministry said. The attacks targeted minivans on the same road about 2 kilometers apart in a neighbourhood in western Kabul, 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 Islamic State group has carried out similar bombings in the area, including four attacks on four minivans earlier this month that killed at least 18 people.
