The cause of the explosion was initially unknown. It occurred near a hotel in a busy district, as the police spokesman responsible for Kabul told the news agency DPA.
The Afghan broadcaster Tolonews reported, citing security sources, that the explosion had targeted Chinese citizens. A video showed smoke, debris and injured people on a street.
Since the Taliban took power four and a half years ago, attacks have declined in large parts of the country. However, the Islamic State (IS) terrorist militia continues to claim responsibility for attacks.
