Daesh has claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing near a bank in Kunduz, northern Afghanistan, on February 11, 2025, which resulted in five fatalities and seven injuries. The bombing occurred near a branch of Kabul Bank in Kunduz city.

Jumauddin Khaksar, a police spokesman, confirmed the deaths, including that of a bank guard, and stated that authorities are investigating the incident.
