Since Taliban fighters seized control of Afghanistan last year after ousting the US-backed government, the number of bombings has fallen but the jihadist and Sunni ISIL has continued with attacks -- often against Shiite targets.

Earlier this week, at least six people were killed in twin blasts that hit a boys' school in a Shiite neighbourhood of Kabul.

A stray dog bit 30 people in the southeastern province of Van on June 10.

All those who were bitten were taken to hospital in the ?pekyolu district of Van, the Van Governor's Office said in a statement.  

The injured people were all vaccinated against rabies at hospital and an investigation into the incident has been opened.
