The militant group said in a statement that it had detonated an explosive device on Sunday targeting a minibus carrying members of the Shiite minority community. One person was killed and 13 others were wounded.
Police spokesman Khalid Zadran confirmed Monday that a bomb had exploded in the western part of Kabul city, killing one civilian.
He added that the explosion happened in the Dasht-e-Barchi area and that a police investigation is underway.
