Hundreds of Afghan civilians killed, wounded in recent months

As official reports show, the violence mainly coming from bomb blasts, assassinations and coordinated attacks launched by terrorist groups have sharply increased the number civilian victims.

One the deadliest violence in Afghanistan includes a recent terrorist attack on a school in the Shia- dominated area of the capital Kabul. The attack claimed the lives of over 100 school students, most of them girls and wounded nearly 200 others.

No group claimed responsibility for the school carnage. But the attack brought domestic and international condemnations.

Afghanistan has witnessed a rise in violence since the United States announced the withdrawal of its remaining forces from the war-torn country last month but failed a May deadline Washington had agreed in a deal with the Taliban.

As observers say, the US failure to pull out its troops gave a pretext to the Taliban not only to continue its violence but accuse the US of violating own deal it inked in the Qatari capital Doha last year.

Dozens of Afghan military forces and Taliban militants have lost their lives as a result of rising violence and bloodshed in Afghanistan on a daily basis. However, the main victims of this bloody war are of course civilians. According to a UN report, nearly 18-hundred civilian casualties have been recorded in the first three months of this year, including 573 deaths.
