The Afghan Taliban said they are to blame for the blast which occured in Zabu neighbourhood in Qalat city.

Police said the attack – which they believed used more than 1,000 kilograms of explosives – was carried out near several government offices, including courts, the attorney general’s office, Zabul municipality and the women’s affairs department.
