A powerful explosion struck a Chinese restaurant in Kabul’s Shahr-e Naw district yesterday, leaving at least seven people dead and over 20 injured. The Emergency Hospital has reported that several of the victims are in critical condition following the incident.
Although the Taliban group’s press and cyber units initially claimed the blast was caused by a gas cylinder, eyewitness accounts describe a massive detonation inconsistent with that narrative. This attempt to downplay the severity of the event has been met with widespread skepticism on social media.
The attack casts serious doubt on the Taliban’s claims of maintaining security and protecting foreign nationals in Afghanistan. The recurring targeting of Chinese interests highlights persistent security vulnerabilities within the capital despite official assurances.
