A boys' school in western Kabul, Afghanistan, was hit by three explosions on Tuesday, 19 April.
According to government officials, six people died while 11 were injured.
On the other hand, the head of a hospital nursing department, who wished to remain anonymous, stated that the blasts had killed at least four people and wounded 14.
New agencies like Reuters and AFP have been unable to independently verify the casualty figure.
Khalid Zadran, the spokesperson for Kabul's commander, said, "Three blasts have taken place ... in a high school, there are some casualties to our Shia people."
Even the Taliban has carried out numerous massacres of the Hazaras in the past.
A witness told AFP news agency that the blasts occurred when students were exiting their morning classes.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks so far.
In May 2021, at least 85 people, most of them girls, were killed and about hundreds were wounded when three bombs rocked their school in Dasht-e-Barchi.
