 A suicide bomber on a motorbike killed six people in Kabul on Wednesday in an attack targeting a minibus with security agents working for the Afghani government.

The so-called Islamic State affiliate in Afghanistan promptly claimed responsibility for the bombing.

Sediq Sediqqi, an Interior Ministry spokesman, indicated that four civilians and two members of the agency were killed. The attack also left 13 people wounded, including five members of the security force.

The blast destroyed the minibus and another cars, which were quickly towed away as security forces sealed off the site of the suicide attack on a wide Kabul boulevard.

This attack was the second this year targeting the agency. In April, a coordinated Taliban assault using a suicide truck bomb and gunmen killed 64 people at the agency’s main compound in Kabul.
