8am: The ISIS Khorasan (IS-K) has claimed responsibility for an attack on a passenger vehicle in the Dasht-e Barchi area of Kabul, resulting in five deaths and 15 injuries. The incident occurred on Saturday night at the Qala-e Naazir station in western Kabul, with all victims being civilians. The attack has sparked widespread condemnation, with the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan (NRF) attributing it to the Taliban as the main perpetrator. The Afghanistan Freedom Front, in response to recent ISIS attacks, asserts that without Taliban support, ISIS cannot target Shia and Hazara communities. The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), in denouncing this attack, calls for an end to targeted assaults on civilians, increased protection for the Hazara community, and accountability for those responsible for such incidents. This comes as the Taliban have repeatedly claimed to have eliminated ISIS in Afghanistan, and dismissed the presence of this group as media-driven propaganda. However, the United Nations Security Council has stated that the Taliban have not adhered to the Doha agreement. Click here to read more (external link).
