xplosions targeting educational institutions killed at least six people and wounded 17 in a mostly Shia neighbourhood of Afghanistan’s capital.

Students were among the casualties in the blasts at one school in Kabul’s Dasht-e-Barchi neighbourhood, police said on Tuesday.


Police spokesman Khalid Zadran said two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) blew up outside the Abdul Rahim Shaheed high school in western Kabul.

No group immediately claimed responsibility, however, the area has been targeted in the past by Afghanistan’s ISIL (ISIS) affiliate, which reviles Shia Muslims as heretics.

Tuesday’s explosions occurred as students were coming out of their morning classes at the school, which can house up to 1,000 students, witnesses said. It was not immediately clear how many children were in the school at the time of the blasts.

“We were leaving school and had just stepped out from the rear gate when the explosion occurred,” Ali Jan, a student wounded in the first blast, told the AFP news agency at a hospital in the area.

The second blast took place as rescuers arrived to ferry victims from the first explosion to hospitals.

“Some of our friends have lost hands, while some were covered in blood,” said Saeed Rahmatullah Haidari, a student at the school. “There were pieces of broken glass and pools of blood … My whole body was shaking.”

Outside a hospital treating the wounded, Taliban fighters beat back the families of students who gathered searching for information. Women cried out as they scanned through pictures of victims posted on nearby walls by medics.
