In Afghanistan, at least seven people were killed, including a Chinese national, while a dozen were injured in an explosion at a restaurant in Kabul’s Shahr-e-Naw area. The blast occurred at a restaurant run jointly by Chinese Muslims and Afghans. Interior Ministry spokesman Abdul Mateen Qani said the blast had caused both deaths and injuries, but did not have any details on the numbers. The Afghan branch of the Islamic State claimed responsibility for Monday’s attack, saying in a statement that it was carried out by a suicide bomber.
