KABUL: Two explosions rocked the city of Kabul in Afghanistan on Saturday. The blasts took place near the gates of a Gurdwara in Kabul. Two people, including a security officer, were killed in the blast. The ISIS is suspected to be behind the blast. The incident took place on Saturday morning.

According to international media reports, several shootings were heard near the Gurdwara since morning. Clashes between the Taliban and police are ongoing in the area. The death toll is likely to increase further as it is a populated area.

Reports suggest that numerous Sikhs were inside the Gurdwara at the time of the blast. Following the explosion, the Indian external affairs ministry expressed concern over the incident. “We are closely monitoring the situation and waiting for further details on the unfolding developments," stated the ministry.
