Violence in Afghanistan was believed to have decreased since the Taliban came to power, but there have been several bombings in recent months. Minorities were targeted in most of the attacks. The dreaded terrorist organization Islamic State has claimed responsibility for many attacks. IS is also a Sunni Islamic group like the Taliban but the two are bitter on ideological grounds and are rivals to each other. Taliban officials in Afghanistan claim the Islamic State has been defeated, but experts believe it remains a challenge to current regimes to protect Afghan security.

Let us tell you that on August 17, there was an explosion in a mosque in Kabul. The blast took place in the evening when many people had gathered in the mosque for prayers. 21 people were killed and dozens were injured in this blast.
