An explosion occurred outside the foreign affairs ministry in Afghanistan's capital Kabul on Wednesday, causing casualties, a police official said.
The blast hit around 4 p.m. local time (1130 GMT), Kabul's police spokesperson Khalid Zadran told Reuters. He did not provide details on the number of casualties.
The Taliban-run administration has faced an insurgency by Islamic State militants who have targeted foreigners at certain sites, including the Russian and Pakistani embassies and a hotel catering to Chinese businessmen.
