Srinagar: A witness on Tuesday claimed that an explosion followed by a sound of gunfire was heard near a military hospital in Kabul.
Photographs shared by residents showed a plume of smoke over the area of the blasts near the former diplomatic zone in the Wazir Akbar Khan area in central Kabul. Taliban Interior ministry spokesman Qari Saeed Khosty said the explosions took place at the entrance of the 400-bed Sardar Mohammad Daud Khan hospital.
“Security forces are deployed to the area, there is no information about casualties,” he said on Twitter.
