At least eight people were killed and 15 injured in a bombing in Kabul, world news agencies reported, citing the Afghan Interior Ministry.

The Afghan government and the Taliban began peace talks in September. Led in the Qatari capital Doha, where the Islamist movement is represented, they were suspended until January 5. The Afghan government and the Taliban have yet to agree on an agenda for the talks. In this context, violence in Afghanistan has increased again in recent weeks. The Taliban carry out attacks against the security forces almost every day.
At least 15 children were killed in a bomb attack in the central Afghan province of Ghazni on Friday. At the end of last month, at least 30 soldiers were killed in a suicide car bombing at a military base in the same region.
