Shahr-e-Naw

Shahr-e-Naw is a neighborhood in central Kabul, Afghanistan, described as one of the city's most secure areas and home to foreigners. It is newsworthy due to a recent suicide bombing at a Chinese restaurant located there. The Islamic State (ISIS) has claimed responsibility for the attack, which resulted in at least seven deaths, including one Chinese national and six Afghans, and numerous injuries. The incident has prompted China to demand that the Taliban government provide better protection for its citizens in Afghanistan. The bombing highlights the ongoing security challenges in Kabul despite the Taliban's control and underscores the continued presence and activity of ISIS in the region. The area's perceived security makes the attack particularly significant.
