On 8 May 2021, a car bombing followed by two more improvised explosive device (IED) blasts occurred in front of Sayed al-Shuhada High School in Dashte Barchi, a predominantly Shia Hazara area in western Kabul, Afghanistan, leaving at least 90 people dead and 240 injured. The majority of the casualties were girls between 11 and 15 years old. The attack took place in a neighborhood that has frequently been targeted by members of the Islamic State – Khorasan Province (IS-K) over the years. Following the attack, residents of Dashte Barchi expressed anger over the lack of security in the area. The residents said the government had not done enough to secure Dashte Barchi, in spite of knowing it had repeatedly come under attack from IS-K. Many of the residents held Afghan President Ashraf Ghani responsible for the attack and raised loud chants against the Afghan government and security forces.
