Several Killed, Dozens Wounded in Bombing at Kabul University

Updated

An explosion near Kabul University on the morning of July 19 killed at least eight people and wounded more than 30, a Ministry of Public Health official cited by Tolo News said.

A spokesman for the Interior Ministry, Nasrat Rahimi, blamed the Taliban. However, Tolo said the Taliban had denied involvement. Kabul police said the explosion was due to a magnetic IED placed in the area.

The blast happened as students were gathered at the gates of the university, waiting to take an exam, Tolo said. Credit: Tolo News via Storyful
