A lemon blast in the Afghan capital of Kabul wounded two people on Monday, the Taliban’s interior ministry said, just two days after a analogous explosion that was claimed by the Islamic State militant group.
Both bias were of a glamorous type attached to vehicles that have come common in Afghanistan, generally causing smaller casualties and lower damage than self-murder attacks, but used in targeted killings that undermine confidence in security.
“I was busy with a client when a smash shook the store,” said Ahmad Murtaza, a shopkeeper in Kabul’s western area of Kote Sangi.
“I saw people were taking victims from the blast point, I do not know whether they were dead or injured.”
Interior ministry spokesperson Qari Sayeed Khosty said the explosion was caused by a sticky lemon and hurt two people, but gave no details.
A analogous glamorous lemon had destroyed a minibus in western Kabul on Saturday, killing and wounding several people.
