ISIS-K, the Afghan arm of the Islamic State terrorist group, claimed this Sunday through its Amaq propaganda apparatus several attacks carried out over the weekend in the city of Jalalabad, in the east of the country.
The target, both on Saturday and Sunday, were patrols of militiamen as they exploded devices that, according to terrorists, caused a total of 15 deaths among the Taliban.
In the attack on Sunday, of which there is a recording with which the Islamic radicals have edited a video widely disseminated on social networks, two members of their militia were killed as well as a child, sources from the Taliban government confirmed to Tolo News.
On Saturday the deceased were at least three according to medical sources.

The majority were people who at that time, swirling among thousands, were trying to access the facilities to be evacuated from the country and thus escape the rise of the Taliban to power.
