The officials in the Ministry of Public Health confirm that the toll as a result of today’s suicide attack has climbed at least 29 dead.

The officials are saying that the explosion has also left at least 52 others wounded amid fears that the death toll could further rise.

Preliminary reports indicate the loyalists of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group has claimed responsibility behind the attack.

The Taliban group had earlier said the militants of the group have links with the explosion in Kabul city today.

The Ministry of Interior had earlier said at least 26 people have been killed and at least 18 others have been wounded after a suicide bomber detonated his explosives not far from Sakhi shrine in West of Kabul.

The incident took place at around noon time as scores of people had gathered in Sakhi shrine to mark the start of the new solar year.

This comes as the anti-government armed militant and terrorist groups including ISIS militants are attempting to carry out large scale attacks in key cities and provinces of the country during the recent months.
