At least 25 people were confirmed dead and 36 injured in a suicide bombing that targeted a private educational center in Dasht-e-Barchi locality in Kabul, Afghanistan on Wednesday, local media reported.

Citing unknown officials, a television channel Tolonews said in its news bulletin that 25 people had lost their lives and 36 others injured.

Officials have yet to make comment.

A terrorist, according to eyewitnesses, blew himself up inside Mawood, a private class training course for students around 3:50 p.m. local time (1120 GMT) and the victims were students including boys and girls.

Meanwhile, Kabul police spokesman Hashmat Stanikzai, without providing details, said that a "blast" hit western edge of Kabul city Wednesday afternoon.

No group has claimed responsibility yet. However, some people pointed finger at the hardliner Islamic State (IS) group, saying the extremist outfit could be behind the deadly attack as it did in the past.
