An explosion occurred in the Afghan capital Kabul on Monday, killing six people and wounding 13 others.
A suicide bomber wearing explosives triggered the blast in the Qala Bakhtiar area of Kabul's southern outskirts, said Kabul police spokesman Khalid Zadran.
The Islamic State group claimed on Tuesday the suicide attack in the Afghan capital, saying it had targeted the Taliban government's prosecution service.
The group's Amaq media wing said on the Telegram messaging app that "the suicide bomber waited until the time when the prosecutor's employees were leaving their shifts" before detonating in the middle of a crowd.
Police said they were investigating the attack.
"The injured were transferred to hospitals on time and investigations are ongoing," Zadran said on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
He added that one of those killed included a woman.
Terrorist attacks have decreased in Afghanistan since the Taliban returned to power in 2021, vowing to make security their top priority.
Authorities have also tended to downplay or delay the confirmation of such attacks.
However, the so-called Islamic State group continues to operate in the country.
In the past, the group has targeted schools, hospitals, mosques and Shia areas throughout the country.
