Kabul: At least 30 people were killed and over 50 people wounded in an explosion outside a school here on Saturday afternoon.

Local media said three consecutive explosions happened close to the Sayeed-ul-Shuhada School in the Dasht-e-Barchi area in the afternoon.

The attack started with a car bomb explosion and was followed by two rocket attacks. The incident happened when students were leaving the school, said Tolo news in a report.

So far no group has claimed responsibility for the dastardly attack.

Over the past years, the capital city with a population of nearly 5 million has been hit by a series of terror attacks by Taliban insurgents and militants of the Islamic State (IS), despite peace talks being underway between negotiation teams of the insurgent Taliban and the government in the Qatari capital of Doha.
