One killed and three others suffered injuries in a suicide attack on Afghan ministry of urban development and housing on Thursday.The suicide attacker wanted to enter the ministry and one of the mujahideen (security forces) shot him and then in the result of the explosion another person near him was killed and three injured,” interior ministry spokesman Abdul Mateen Qani told AFP.Although violence in Afghanistan has significantly decreased since the Taliban reclaimed power in 2021, the Islamic State (IS) group continues to launch deadly attacks challenging their rule. IS has previously targeted Taliban officials, foreign diplomats, and civilians in Afghanistan.A doctor at Kabul’s Emergency Hospital, speaking anonymously, said that “five to six injured” individuals had been brought to the facility for treatment. However, official casualty figures often differ from those reported by medical personnel on the ground.
