At least 45 people were wounded at the sports stadium as they gathered for the "Ramadan Cup" tournament according to local media reported.

During the last one month this is the second ASJF Member killed in bomb blasts in Afghanistan. 

"The terrorists did not stop killing our people even during the holy month of Ramadan ... by carrying out a terrorist attack in a populated sport stadium, once again they have proved that they are not bound to any creed or religion, and they are the enemy of humanity." Afghanistan Presidential Palace published a press release.
