A suicide bomber killed five people including Taliban security forces on Tuesday, in an explosion outside a bank in northern Afghanistan.
Security Operatives noted that seven people were also wounded in the attack which targeted a queue of people waiting to collect their salaries from a bank in the city of Kunduz, the capital of Kunduz province.
Police spokesman for Kunduz province, Jumadin Khaksar, said civilians, civil servants and members of the Taliban security forces were among those killed.
In March 2024, a suicide bomber killed at least three people when he detonated a bomb outside a bank in the southern city of Kandahar, in an attack claimed by the regional chapter of the Islamic State.
Meanwhile, the number of bomb blasts and suicide attacks in Afghanistan has declined since the Taliban ended their insurgency after seizing power in August 2021, ousting the US-backed government.
