Meeting between Taliban and UN humanitarian office announced
Taliban authorities initially accused the Islamic State terrorist group of being responsible for the attack and announced that they have launched a comprehensive investigation into the blast.
Interior Ministry spokesman Abdul Nafi Takor said the area around the Kabul military airport had been cordoned off by Taliban security forces and all roads had been closed.
Although no group has immediately claimed responsibility for this attack, the ISKP has previously claimed responsibility for bombings and suicide attacks against Taliban affiliates and facilities.
The regional affiliate of the Islamic State group, known as Islamic State in Khorasan Province (ISKP), has increased its attacks since the Taliban seized power in 2021.
On the other hand, several Kabul residents indicated that the explosion was so powerful that its sound could be heard kilometers away.
