A series of explosions occurred in Kandahar city, Afghanistan, and Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan, resulting in multiple casualties. In Kandahar, an explosion near the New Kabul Bank in PD1 and another in a busy marketplace were reported, with the latter initially causing confusion about the nature of the blast. The Kandahar Police Command later identified the attack as a suicide bombing, hinting at ISKP's possible involvement, recalling their previous attack in October 2021. Local officials and the Ministry of Interior confirmed the incidents, with 3 killed and 12 injured, transported to Mirwais Hospital. Meanwhile, in Dera Ismail Khan, a suspected VBIED/SVBIED attack targeted a convoy of Pakistani security forces, killing two personnel and injuring more than ten others. An initial investigation suggested a remote-controlled bomb attack, with four soldiers killed and 27 injured in a combined shooting and suicide attack on a military convoy. No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
