At least 20 people have been killed in two separate bomb blasts in the Afghan capital, Kabul.

Deputy spokesman for the Islamic Emirate Bilal Karimi also confirmed the two consecutive blasts in Kabul.

According to Bilal Karimi, both blasts in Kabul took place near the Sardar Mohammad Khan Daud Military Hospital.

On the other hand, Afghan media reports that the death toll from the blasts has risen to 20 while 60 people have been injured.

According to Afghan media, ISIL fighters entered the hospital after an explosion near the entrance of the military hospital. Meanwhile, ISIL fighters clashed with Islamic Emirate forces at Sardar Daud Khan Military Hospital.

A bomb blast near a hospital in the Afghan capital, Kabul, has killed at least 20 people and injured 60 others.

According to the foreign news agency 'AFP', two explosions were confirmed by the Taliban while eyewitnesses also reported firing.

An Afghan health ministry official said on condition of anonymity that "20 bodies and about 60 injured people have been transferred to Kabul hospitals."

Earlier, Interior Ministry spokesman Qari Saeed Khosti said the blasts took place at the 400-bed Sardar Muhammad Daud Khan Hospital.

"Security forces have been deployed in the area, but no casualties have been reported," he tweeted on a social networking site.

Photos shared by locals show smoke rising from the Wazir Akbar Khan area near the former diplomatic stronghold in central Kabul.

"I was inside the hospital. I first heard a loud explosion from the checkpoint, after which we were told to go to safe rooms. I also heard gunshots," the hospital doctor said.

Initially, no one claimed responsibility for the attack, but the state-run Bakhtar News Agency quoted eyewitnesses as saying that several ISIS fighters entered the hospital and clashed with security forces. ۔

A hospital treating wounded Taliban fighters and former Afghan security forces personnel was also attacked in 2017, and gunmen disguised as medical personnel killed at least 30 people.

It should be noted that the Taliban, which has been fighting against foreign forces and the US-backed government for 20 years, is facing difficulties in bringing stability to the country after coming to power.

In the last few weeks since the formation of the Taliban's interim government, ISIS has carried out a number of horrific attacks.
