At least seven people were killed and six others wounded in two explosions on minibuses in the west of the city of Kabul, a minority Shiite Hazara area.
The first explosion occurred at around 2:50 pm local time when a bomb attached to a minibus loaded with passengers detonated in police district 13 in western Kabul, Interior Ministry deputy spokesman Ahmad Zia told Efe.
The second explosion, which was also caused by a bomb attached to another minivan, went off a few minutes later in the city's police district number six, he said.
"Unfortunately in these blasts seven of our citizens were killed and another six injured," Zia said, adding that all of the victims were civilians.
Both blasts took place in the west of the Afghan capital, in areas populated by the Shiite Hazara minority, a community that in recent years has been targeted in attacks on mosques, sports halls, educational institutions and even weddings.
Most of these attacks were claimed by the jihadist group Islamic State (IS), which considers them apostates, although the Afghan government usually blames the Taliban.
The Taliban have always denied involvement in attacks against civilians....
