On May 12, 2020, 24 people, including mothers and newborns, were killed in the Médecins Sans Frontières maternity hospital, transformed into a battlefield.

This murderous assault, perpetrated in the Hazara neighborhood, was claimed by the Afghan branch of the Islamic State group, which often targets this Shiite minority.
