New Details Emerge on Kabul Blasts: From Rocket Fire to Possible Drone Strike

DID Press: Several powerful explosions shook parts of Kabul’s 4th and 15th districts on Wednesday afternoon. Witnesses reported hearing a missile-like sound moments before the blasts, followed by a heavy impact on the streets.

Sources confirmed the explosions and did not rule out the possibility of a drone strike. Thick black smoke and flames were seen rising from multiple areas, and the blasts were heard miles away.

Taliban police spokesperson Khalid Zadran claimed on X that a fuel tanker had exploded in Kabul city, insisting there is “no cause for concern.” However, it remains unclear if his statement referred to the same incidents.

Local sources suggested a house in Taimani area was hit, indicating a potential drone attack, though Taliban officials have yet to confirm. The explosions have fueled public anxiety across the capital.

The incident comes amid escalating border clashes between Taliban forces and the Pakistani military, with recent reports of drone strikes in Spin Boldak causing heavy Taliban casualties.

The repeated explosions and suspected airstrikes in Kabul highlight growing doubts over the Taliban’s control of Afghanistan airspace amid rising regional tensions.
