On 1 January 2023, a bombing occurred at a checkpoint outside the military airport in Kabul, located about 200 metres from the civilian Kabul International Airport in Afghanistan. It killed and injured several people. The following day, on 2 January, the Islamic State claimed responsibility for the bombing on Telegram, stating to have killed 20 people and injured 30. The Taliban-run ministry of interior denied those numbers, saying it would be releasing an official toll.
