Three explosions rocked a high school in western Kabul; no group has taken responsibility for the attack
\nKABUL
\nThree explosions rocked a high school in western Kabul Tuesday, killing at least six people and injuring children, according to Afghan security and health officials.
\nMany residents in the neighbourhood belong to the Shia Hazara community, an ethnic and religious minority frequently targeted by militant groups, including Daesh.
\n\u201cThree blasts have taken place […] in a high school, there are some casualties to our Shia people,\u201d said Khalid Zadran, the spokesman for Kabul\u2019s commander. He later added that six had been killed and 11 injured in the explosions.
\nThe head of a hospital nursing department, who declined to be named, said at least four people had been killed and 14 wounded in the blasts.
\nAnother medical centre, Emergency Hospital, said in a Tweet they had received seven children injured in the explosions. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, which followed a lull in violence over the cold winter months and after foreign forces withdrew last year.
\nThe Taliban say they have secured the country since taking power in August, but international officials and analysts say that the risk of a resurgence in militancy remains and the Daesh militant group has claimed several major attacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
