The group's media published a statement and a photo of the suicide bomber. The terrorist's main target was Taliban militants.

According to media reports, twenty people were killed in the explosion, including employees of the Kunduz city Interior Ministry, the Directorate 4 Telegram channel reports.

The Taliban has not yet responded to the ISIS statement about its involvement in the terrorist attack. This can be explained by the policy of hushing up such incidents in order to downplay the threat posed by jihadists in Afghanistan.
