On 8 May 2021, a car bombing, followed by two more improvised explosive device (IED) blasts, occurred in front of Sayed al-Shuhada school in Dashte Barchi, a predominantly Shia Hazara area[1][2] in western Kabul, Afghanistan,[3] leaving at least 90 people dead and 240 injured.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] The majority of the casualties were girls between 11 and 15 years old.[11][12] The attack took place in a neighborhood that has frequently been attacked by militants belonging to the regional Islamic State – Khorasan Province (IS-K) over the years.[2][13]
Following the attack, residents of Dashte Barchi expressed anger over the lack of security in the area.[14] The residents said the government had not done enough to secure Dashte Barchi, in spite of knowing it had repeatedly come under attack from IS-K. Many of the residents held Afghan president Ashraf Ghani responsible for the attack and raised loud chants against the Afghan government and security forces.[14]
