On Saturday, May 1, a bomb exploded near a girls' school in the Shiite district of Afghanistan, killing at least 30 people.


According to NBC, the explosion occurred at about 4:30 p.m. local time as the girls were leaving the campus. Authorities are still currently investigating this attack: therefore, no statements have been verified.  


The bombing, which appears to have been carried out with the intention of causing maximum civilian casualties, contributes to concerns that instability in the war-torn region will worsen as NATO draws their nearly two-decade military involvement to a close. 


All of this has occurred as the United States begins to withdraw its remaining 2,500 forces from the region. President Joe Biden declared in early April that all American troops would leave by the 20th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks.


Throughout all the chaos as to the origins of where the blasts came from, no one has taken responsibility for the explosion that occurred on Saturday. However, Afghani President Ghani has publicly blamed the Taliban and ISIL. 


The Taliban has largely stopped attacking external troops, but they continue to assault government forces. In addition, attacks blamed on the Taliban, which denies involvement, have killed a host of journalists, campaigners, and scholars. 


One of the top US military officers stated that the Afghan government forces face an unpredictable future and possibly some "poor results" against Taliban militants.


As the tensions between the Afghan government and Taliban militants worsen, the residents fear more potential bombings will be targeted in the Afghanistan region.
