Kabul Restaurant Explosion Kills 7, Injures Dozens in Taliban-Run Capital | World News

An explosion tore through a Chinese‑run restaurant in downtown Kabul’s Shahr‑e‑Naw district, killing at least seven people – including one Chinese national and six Afghan citizens – and injuring about a dozen others, officials and aid workers said. The blast struck near the restaurant’s kitchen in one of the city’s most heavily guarded and commercial areas, which houses offices, shopping complexes and embassies, underscoring persistent security challenges in the Afghan capital despite efforts to maintain peace. Rescuers and the Italian medical charity EMERGENCY received around 20 victims from the scene, among them women and a child requiring surgery, while smoke and debris were seen on nearby streets as locals fled the area. Afghan authorities are investigating the cause of the explosion, and the local branch of the Islamic State (ISIS) militant group has claimed responsibility for the attack, linked by the group to its targeting of Chinese interests. The Chinese Embassy in Afghanistan has urged a prompt investigation and is assisting injured citizens, highlighting concerns about the safety of foreign nationals and businesses in Kabul amid ongoing militant threats.
