The explosions reportedly took place in the Dasht-i-Barchi area of the city. The area is home to a large Shia Hazara community, a minority group that was previously targeted by extremists.

The blasts reportedly occurred in rapid succession and hurt several children and more casualties were feared, according to Kabul police spokesman Khalid Zadran and the city’s Emergency Hospital.

No one has immediately claimed responsibility.
