Islamic State claims responsibility for causing Kabul power outage

The Islamic State militant group said on Friday that it was responsible for an explosion that brought down electricity lines and caused a major power outage in Kabul province, WION reports.

The power outage that took place on Thursday was another blow to Taliban's efforts to stabilize Afghanistan after they captured power in the month of August. Taliban who led the insurgency against US-supported governments for two decades are finding themselves at odds with Islamic State.
