At least 26 people were killed and 41 wounded on Monday after a Taliban-claimed car bomb struck a bus carrying government employees through a Shiite neighbourhood in Kabul, raising fears of sectarian violence.
The assault came as a presidential spokesman said the Taliban also killed at least 35 civilians in an attack on a hospital in central Ghor province over the weekend. The deadly attacks underscore spiralling insecurity in Afghanistan as the resurgent Taliban ramp up their offensive across the country, while security forces struggle to contain them.
“It was a huge explosion, my house nearly collapsed,” a neighbourhood resident who gave his name as Mostafa said, adding that the street was “filled with human flesh and blood”.
