KABUL (Sputnik) - Two children were killed and several civilians sustained injuries in a bomb blast on the outskirts of Afghanistan's capital of Kabul, an eyewitness told Sputnik on Sunday.

"The bomb exploded ... around 12:00 local time [07:30 GMT], killed two children and injured several civilians", the eyewitness said.

According to the source, a bomb exploded in a car belonging to the Taliban* in the Bagrami District in the central part of Kabul Province.

According to the Taliban, the presence of Daesh in the country is small and the movement has been working to eradicate the group.
