The Islamic State has claimed the responsibility of the attack on the peaceful demonstration.
President Ashraf Ghani vowed to take revenge against those responsible.
“I promise you I will take revenge against the culprits,” Ghani said on a televised address to the nation.
The incident took place while thousands of demonstrators were protesting over a power line route.
Afghan security forces said on Saturday that the attack was planned and performed by a Daesh commander named Abo Ali in Achen district of Nangarhar where the group has a stronghold.
