Documents violence · ongoing investigation — written to inform, not to shock.

On 22 August 2015, a suicide bombing occurred in Kabul, Afghanistan. According to available reporting, at least 10 people were killed in the attack, and more than 60 others were wounded. Among the wounded were a woman and three NATO troops, indicating the blast affected both Afghan civilians and international military personnel present in the area at the time.
Limited detail is available in the current sourcing regarding the specific location within Kabul, the method of the attack (though it is described as a suicide bombing, and a related contemporaneous source references it as a "car bombing"), the identity of the perpetrator, or any claim of responsibility. No individuals have been publicly named as victims, and no persons have been charged, convicted, or otherwise identified as responsible for the attack in the sources reviewed.
The attack is documented as part of a broader pattern of terrorist incidents recorded in Kabul and across Afghanistan in 2015. It is listed in general references cataloguing terrorist attacks in Kabul and terrorist incidents of that year, but no further investigative outcome, arrest, or prosecution is documented in the material available for this dossier.
Given the sparse detail in the primary source, this case entry should be treated as a preliminary record. Additional reporting — including contemporaneous news coverage — is referenced but was not available in full text for direct fact extraction. As such, this dossier reflects only the limited confirmed casualty figures and general characterization of the event as a suicide bombing in Kabul on the stated date.
