At around 08:30 local time, the landmines laid by the roadside on Silo Street in the fifth district of Kabul detonated while a vehicle carrying the employees of the Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development were passing. Kabul Police Spokesperson Khalid Zadran announced that 8 people were injured in the incident.
No one has claimed the attack yet.
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director Rafael Grossi warned of “serious” damage to Iran’s Fordow uranium enrichment facility after recent US airstrikes, citing the sensitivity of centrifuges to shock and vibration.
In an emergency board meeting, Grossi said multiple structures tied to uranium processing at Isfahan and Natanz were also hit. He stressed that no full assessment of underground damage is yet possible.
Grossi condemned attacks on nuclear facilities as a global risk, urging restraint and a return to diplomacy. “We must resume negotiations to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons,” he said, expressing readiness to visit Iran.
He also confirmed Iran’s notification of new protective measures for nuclear materials, emphasizing they must comply with international safeguards.
