Shahr-e-Naw

Shahr-e-Naw is a neighborhood in central Kabul, Afghanistan, described as one of the more secure areas of the city and home to foreigners. It is currently newsworthy due to a recent suicide bombing at a Chinese restaurant located there. The attack, which occurred on Monday, resulted in at least seven deaths, including one Chinese national and six Afghans, and multiple injuries. The Islamic State (ISIS) has claimed responsibility for the bombing. The incident has prompted China to demand that the Taliban government provide increased protection for its citizens in Afghanistan. The bombing highlights ongoing security concerns in Kabul despite Taliban control and underscores the continued presence and activity of ISIS in the region. The area is known for its flower sellers.
