The death toll from the explosion at an education center in the Afghan capital has surpassed 40, while more than 80 people were injured, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) announced on Monday morning.

"Human toll from Friday's college bombing in Hazara neighborhood of Afghan capital continues to rise. 43 killed. 83 wounded.

Girls and young women the main victims," UNAMA said in a statement on social media.

The UN mission added that casualty figures are likely to rise further and UNAMA teams continue to work on the verification process in Kabul.

The bomber detonated as hundreds of students were sitting at a practice test ahead of an entrance exam for university admissions.

Friday's attack triggered sporadic women-led protests in Kabul and some other cities.

Around 50 women chanted, "Stop Hazara genocide, it's not a crime to be a Shiite", as they marched on Saturday in Dasht-e-Barchi neighbourhood where the attack happened. The rallies have been dispersed by Taliban forces often firing shots into the air and beating protesters. Afghanistan's Hazaras have regularly faced attacks in the majority Sunni Muslim country.
