Death toll from Afghan blast reaches 25 - health ministry

The death toll from a suicide blast at an educational center in a mainly Shi'ite area of the Afghan capital of Kabul on Wednesday reached 25, with another 35 wounded, the health ministry said.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast, which came after several weeks of relative calm in Kabul but previous attacks on Shi'ite targets in the area have been claimed by Islamic State.
