Afghanistan: 5 injured in blast near school in Kabul

At least five people suffered injuries in a powerful blast near a school in the Afghan capital of Kabul, Sputnik reported.

The blast took place near the high school building, the 1TV News broadcaster reported, while the Ariana News broadcaster said that a roadside mine has exploded.

No group has so far claimed responsibility for the attack.

Since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan in mid-August, attacks by ISIL-affiliated terrorists against them have increased.

The rise in terrorist attacks has raised the possibility of a wider conflict between the two groups.

Further details are awaited.
