On 21 March 2024, ISIS–K carried out a suicide bombing on a New Kabul Bank branch in Kandahar, Afghanistan around 8:00 AFT (03:30 GMT) killing at least 21 and injuring at least 51, targeting Taliban workers who were collecting their wages.

Hospital staff stated that the dead included several members of the Taliban.

The suicide bomber was identified by the pro-Taliban al-Mirsad website as Asadbek Madiyarov, a citizen of Uzbekistan.
