An unknown person blew himself up at the military hospital named after Sardar Mohammed Daud Khan in the Afghan capital of Kabul. At least 15 people died with him, Reuters reported. Some media reported two explosions.

“The suicide bomber attack took place in a 400-bed hospital located next to the Ministry of Public Health,” RIA Novosti quoted an eyewitness as saying.

According to some media reports, gunfire was heard immediately after the explosion.

According to Afghan media reports, the attack was carried out by militants of the Islamic State in Khorasan (an offshoot of the Islamic State, IS) terrorist organization banned in Russia.

None of the armed groups operating in the country have yet taken responsibility for the incident. The Taliban (a terrorist organization banned in Russia), which seized power in Afghanistan in August, has not yet commented on the event. After the victory of the Taliban, IS began to regularly organize attacks and terrorist attacks in Afghanistan.
