The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing at a Shiite cultural centre in Afghanistan’s capital Kabul that killed about 40 people.
The extremist group said it targeted the centre with three bombs followed by a suicide bombing, in a statement on its propaganda outlet Amaq.
Taliban was quick to deny involvement in the assault near the Afghan Voice Agency, a media outlet which earlier reports had suggested could have been the target.
Deputy interior ministry spokesman Nasrat Rahimi told the blasts were in fact aimed at the Shiite Tabayan cultural centre.
“We have 40 killed, 30 wounded, but this is not the final toll. It might go up.
