The death toll in yesterday’s blast in Kabul rose to four

Kabul police announced the increase of casualties in yesterday’s explosion in the fourth district of Kabul city.

Ferdows Faramarz; A Kabul police spokesman said today (Monday, March 25) that the dead included a child and three police officers.

The blast took place yesterday at the Baraki intersection in the fourth district of Kabul at 4:22 pm, which Kabul police said was caused by a magnetic mine.

Mr. Faramarz said yesterday that three people were killed and five others were injured in the blast, including a child.

Pictures of the blast that were posted on social media provoked a lot of reactions, including one of the videos showing two young children crying to their injured mother who was lying on the side of the road: “Mother, get up!”

Users on Twitter and Facebook launched the “#mother-get-up” hashtag to sympathize with the victims of the blast and sue the children.

The government and most users of social media blame the Taliban for the incident.

But the Taliban have denied any involvement in the incident.
