- 6 years ago
A series of attacks in Afghanistan have left at least 31 people dead, and around 50 injured.
There were a total of 10 journalists killed, marking the deadliest assault on reporters since the fall of the Taliban in 2001.
Nine reporters were killed Monday in twin suicide bombings in Kabul, which were claimed by the Islamic State group.
The first bomber blew himself up near the NATO headquarters and the U.S. embassy while riding a motorbike.
About 20 minutes later, the second attacker, disguised as a TV cameraman, denoted his device, killing reporters who rushed to the scene of the first attack.
A few hours later, in the southern Kandahar province, a suicide car bomb targeting a NATO convoy killed eleven children from a nearby religious school.
In a separate attack in the eastern Khost province, 29-year-old Ahmad Shah, a reporter for the BBC's Afghan service, was shot dead by unknown gunmen.
Seoul's foreign ministry confirmed that 32 South Koreans living in the area are safe.
