Kabul, June 12: At least 33 people were killed including security personnel and dozen others were injured after the multiple bomb blasts hit different parts of Afghanistan on Monday. After the blast, the most dangerous terrorist organization Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) took the responsibility.

 

The first explosion took place in Kabul after a suicide bomber blew himself outside the Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development. In this deadly blast, 12 people were killed and more than 30 were wounded.

Police spokesman Hashmat Stanikzai said, “The attack occurred as employees were leaving their offices early for Ramadan.” "A suicide bomber detonated his explosive vest at the entrance gate of the ministry killing and injuring a number of the employees of the ministry," Stanikzai added.

The second explosion took place in northern Kunduz Province. As many as 15 members of the Afghan security forces were killed while ten others were injured. Of 15 members of the Afghan security forces, 10 were soldiers and five were policemen. In eastern Ghazni Province, a roadside bomb struck a minibus, killing six people and injuring other three.

The series of explosion comes days after Afghanistan government and Taliban terror outfit announced a temporary ceasefire till June 20 of this year in wake of Ramzan.

In May this year, around 40 people including ten journalists and 11 children were killed and 60 others were wounded after the multiple bomb blasts took place in Afghanistan’s capital city of Kabul. The attacks have multiplied in recent days as parliamentary and district council elections scheduled for October 20 this year. Last month on the occasion of Persian New Year, a suicide bomber killed at least 26 people in Afghanistan.
