On September 5, 2018, a horrific twin suicide bombing struck the Maiwand Wrestling Club in Dasht-e-Barchi, a predominantly Hazara neighborhood in western Kabul, Afghanistan. The first blast ripped through the wrestling club in the early evening, followed by a second explosion targeting first responders and civilians who had gathered to assist the victims. This secondary attack caused even greater casualties. The attacks resulted in the deaths of at least 30 civilians, including two journalists Samim Framarz and Ramiz Ahmadi, and injured over 103 others. The Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISIL-KP) claimed responsibility for the bombings, stating they targeted Shia-Hazaras.
