The event date is February 11, 2025.
A suicide bombing outside a bank in Kunduz, northern Afghanistan, killed five people and wounded seven others, according to police cited in the supplied Arab News report. The blast struck a queue of people waiting to collect salaries, turning a daily financial errand into a deadly attack in the provincial capital.
The evidence says the bomber targeted people outside New Kabul Bank in Kunduz and that the dead included Taliban security forces. Police spokesman Jumadin Khaksar said the attacker used improvised explosive devices and detonated himself. The source also reports that civilians and civil servants were among the victims. Those are the key verified details, and they define both the setting and the human toll.
The attack matters not only because of the number of casualties but because of where it happened. Banks in Afghanistan often serve as gathering points for salary distributions, and that makes them vulnerable to attacks aimed at security forces or public employees. The supplied report indicates that the victims were standing in line for payment when the bomber struck. It does not say whether the bank was open for a specific government payroll scheme, so this article keeps the description limited to what the excerpt confirms.
The packet does not identify any group behind the bombing, and it does not include a claim of responsibility. It also does not provide a timeline for how quickly emergency responders arrived or whether the site was later reopened. For that reason, this report stays focused on the confirmed toll and the police account of the attack.
In high-casualty incidents in Afghanistan, early reports can differ as officials try to sort out whether the dead are civilians, government workers or security personnel. Here, the excerpt is explicit enough to say all three categories were present among the victims. That makes the event especially stark: a single blast outside a bank killed Taliban security forces, civilians and civil servants alike.
The police response is also part of the verified record. Khaksar said the Kunduz Province Police Command was working with relevant organizations to find the perpetrators and bring them to justice. The report does not say whether investigators had a suspect or group in mind, so no further attribution is made here.
The clearest facts remain the simplest: five people were killed, seven were injured and the explosion happened outside a bank in Kunduz while people were waiting in line for their salaries.
