At least nine people have been killed and 13 others injured in two separate blasts in the Shia-populated areas of Mazar-e-Sharif, the capital of northern Balkh province.
Mohammad Asif Vaziri, Spokesman for the Taliban Security Command in Balkh, said that at 7:00 pm today (Thursday, April 28), two explosions took place in the third and tenth districts of Mazar-e-Sharif. Vaziri added that the blasts were caused by a bomb planted in two passenger cars.
He said that according to initial statistics, at least nine people were killed and 13 others were injured in the two blasts. He added that the death toll could rise. A spokesman for the Taliban security command in Balkh confirmed that the victims were Shia Muslims.
No group or individual has claimed responsibility for the blasts. Exactly one week ago, an explosion targeted a Shia mosque in the city of Mazar-e-Sharif, killing or injuring dozens. Last week, the ISIS terrorist group claimed responsibility for the explosion.
