The cause of this is still unclear. Afghan media speculate about a suicide bombing, but this was not commented on by any official site. Secunder Kermani, the BBC’s Afghanistan correspondent, announced on Twitter that the IS-K group will soon be committed to the attack. It is a local offshoot of the Islamic State terrorist group.
Only a week ago there was an attack on a mosque in the Kunduz region in northern Afghanistan. 46 people died. The IS subsequently claimed the explosion for itself. (do)
