The first explosion happened at around 8 am in Darulaman Road in the west of Kabul in which two people were wounded, police said, adding that the blast targeted a corolla vehicle. The second explosion rocked Kart-e-Parwan area in Kabul's PD4 at around 8:15 am in which two people were killed. This explosion also targeted a corolla vehicle, police said. This comes amidst an increase in magnetic IED blasts in Kabul in recent months.
The cases of violence are being reported in the country despite the ongoing peace talks. According to the data, 51 people were killed and 70 more were wounded in security and crime incidents in Kabul from Jan. 20 to Feb. Data from the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission shows that in 2020, over 2,000 people were killed in incidents, for which no one claimed responsibility.
Earlier, the US-Taliban deal, signed in Doha last year in February that calls for the full withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan by the end of May, has resulted in an increase in violence.
