Several people are feared dead or injured after multiple explosions rocked an administrative district in the Afghan capital, Kabul, Press TV reports.
Afghan officials said on Friday the serial bomb blasts took place near the Ministry of Interior in Kabul on Thursday.
Gunfire erupted after the bomb attacks on the district where a number of militants are said to be holed up.
Frequent bomb attacks have disrupted normal life and business activities in Afghanistan where civilian casualties are expected to rise after Washington announced plans to set up permanent bases in the country.
Taliban militants recently announced the start of their annual “spring offensive” against US-led and Afghan forces, vowing a new wave of attacks across Afghanistan.
The United States and its allies invaded Afghanistan in 2001 as part of Washingtonâ„¢s so-called war on terror. The offensive removed the Taliban from power, but insecurity remains across the country despite the presence of thousands of foreign troops.
