ISIS has claimed responsibility for the recent explosion that struck the Koht-e Sange area in western Kabul on Saturday evening.

The group's statement detailed that the attack resulted in casualties among the Taliban, with 10 people reported killed or injured.

The attack targeted a civilian bus as it passed through a Taliban checkpoint in the third district of Kabul city, according to ISIS. Initial reports from Taliban officials, however, stated that the explosion, caused by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) on a passenger bus, killed one person and wounded three others.

Khalid Zadran, the spokesperson for the Taliban police command, confirmed the details of the incident. This violent act occurs amidst ongoing assertions by Taliban officials that they have effectively suppressed ISIS in Afghanistan, countering foreign assertions about the group's active presence as mere "propaganda."
