At least five people were killed and 35 others were injured in explosions in the Afghan capital of Kabul on Wednesday. This was announced by Dejan Panic, coordinator of the Italian humanitarian group Emergency, which operates the hospital there. TASR informs about it according to the report of the AFP agency.
AFP journalists reported on Wednesday about two explosions in the Afghan capital, which according to Panic occurred a few kilometers from the hospital. “So far they have brought 40 people, including women and children,” he announced, adding that five people had already died on the way to the hospital.
A spokesman for Afghanistan’s ruling Taliban movement, Zabihullah Mujahid, said an oil tanker and a generator exploded, causing the fires. A Pakistani security source said on Wednesday that Pakistan had carried out precision strikes in Kabul. There were explosions in this city last Thursday as well. Afghanistan blamed neighboring Pakistan for last week’s explosions. Since the blasts, violence has intensified between the two states, which announced a 48-hour ceasefire on Wednesday. The border clashes resulted in dozens of soldiers and civilians being killed on both sides.
