On Saturday, at least two people were killed after three blasts ripped through the city, the heartland of Daesh terror group’s Afghanistan branch.
Last month, a chaotic US-led evacuation of foreigners and Afghans who worked for international forces was marred by a devastating bomb attack claimed by Daesh which killed scores of people.
But since the last American troop left on August 30, the violence-wracked country that was plagued by fighting, bombs and air strikes, has been free of major incidents.
