A suicide bomber on Monday struck a street leading to Kabul’s international airport, officials said, the latest in a wave of attacks on the Afghan capital.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the bombing, which comes as Afghan forces battle to end an hours-long siege near the Indian consulate in northern Mazar-i-Sharif city.
“A bomber on foot detonated his suicide vest... Near Kabul airport. There is no immediate information on casualties,” Interior Ministry spokesman Najib Danish said.
Danish said the target was a foreign forces convoy passing through the area but a police spokesman said he was not aware of that.
The bombing marks the latest assault on the war-scarred Afghan capital.
