Several casualties reported in a blast in Kabul's Shahr-e-Naw area.
The explosion targeted a hotel frequented by foreigners.
Security remains a concern as attacks continue despite Taliban claims of restored safety.

A blast in Kabul's Shahr-e-Naw area has resulted in several fatalities and injuries, according to the Taliban Interior Ministry. The explosion reportedly occurred in front of a Chinese restaurant, which is located in an area considered to be one of the city's most secure.

according to aljazeera, indiatimes, and reuters.

Interior Ministry spokesperson Abdul Mateen Qani confirmed that “a number of people were killed and injured” but did not provide specific details. Despite the Taliban's assertions of enhanced security since taking control of Afghanistan in 2021, there remains a significant threat from local affiliates of the Islamic State group, which has claimed responsibility for other attacks.
