MOSCOW, September 17. /TASS/. The Taliban (outlawed in Russia) has claimed responsibility for the latest explosions that rocked the Afghan capital of Kabul and the Parwan province earlier on Tuesday, Al Jazeera reported.

Two blasts went off during Afghan President Ashraf Ghani’s election rally in the Parwan province, claiming at least 24 lives and leaving 31 wounded. A while later, another explosion occurred in downtown Kabul, killing at least three people and injuring several more.

The country’s presidential election, which has been postponed several times, is expected to take place in Afghanistan on September 28. Ashraf Ghani has been serving as the nation’s head of state since 2014. Under the Afghan constitution, a president is elected to a five-year tenure, and has the right to run for a second term.
