Aftermath of bomb blast near a checkpoint in Kabul's military airport

epa10386306 Taliban security stand guard at a roadside checkpoint a day after a blast at military zone of Kabul airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, 02 January 2023. Abdul Nafi Takkur, the spokesman of the Ministry of Interior, said that a number of people were killed in this explosion, but he did not cite any numbers. Although the Taliban, who seized power in August last year with the pullout of US troops, have not confirmed whether the recent blast was the result of an attack, Afghanistan has witnessed an increase in attacks over the past one year. The Afghan branch of the Islamic State (IS) terror group, has emerged as the main threat to the country's stability, although the Taliban denies that the armed organization poses a security challenge.
