Local authorities in Parwan province report that an explosion at a “Sara-e-Kohna” market in the provincial capital has resulted in two deaths and six injuries.
Fazl-ur-Rahim Maskinyar, spokesperson for the police command in Parwan, stated in a press release that the incident occurred on Saturday, July 20, on the New Road in the first security district of Charikar, the provincial capital.
According to the press release, the explosion happened when explosive materials gathered in a piece of iron detonated.
Maskinyar emphasized that the injured have been transported to the Parwan provincial civilian hospital, and an investigation into the incident has begun.
In recent months, Afghanistan has experienced increased insecurity, with incidents of violence and attacks becoming more frequent. The volatile situation has been exacerbated by the resurgence of ISIS activities in the region, posing significant challenges to the Taliban regime.
ISIS has escalated its operations not only within Afghanistan but also in neighboring countries, targeting both civilians and security forces. This increase in ISIS activity has led to heightened fear and instability among the population.
The international community remains concerned about the growing influence of ISIS in Afghanistan, which threatens regional security and complicates efforts to stabilize the country. The need for effective counterterrorism strategies and regional cooperation is more critical than ever to address this escalating threat.
