Responsibility
No one has claimed responsibility for this deadly attack, Taliban denies involvement so Politics of Afghanistan believe the Islamic state is involved due to the past deadly attacks in the past months from the Islamic State alone.[2] The UN quickly condemned the attack and expressed their deepest condolences to the victims urging Afghan officials "to combat by all means threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts".[3]
