Ten killed in Kabul blasts claimed by ISIS NHK

Explosions have hit Afghanistan's capital for two consecutive days, killing at least 10 people.

A bomb planted in a pushcart went off in Kabul on Friday, leaving eight people dead and 18 wounded.

Another blast occurred on Saturday in a neighborhood which is home to many Shia Muslim Hazaras. The Taliban, who took over control of Afghanistan last August, said the roadside explosion killed at least two people and wounded 22.

Reports from news outlets, including Reuters, say the Islamic State militant group claimed responsibility for both attacks. The group frequently targets Shias.

It has been almost one year since the Taliban recaptured power in Afghanistan. But the country's security situation remains volatile due to a series of terrorist acts by Islamic State members.
