At least 14 people were killed, and six others injured, in a Thursday evening attack in Afghanistan’s Daikundi province, marking the first such assault since the Taliban took power. A Taliban spokesperson confirmed the death toll on Friday.
The Islamic State (ISIS) claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement posted on its Telegram channel, although no further evidence or details were provided. This incident adds to the ongoing instability in Afghanistan as the country grapples with security challenges under the Taliban’s rule.
