Ministry of Interior spokesman Najib Danish said that the blast took place in the city's Binaey area, which is less than 10 kilometers (6 miles) away from the NATO headquarters in Kabul. A vehicle of a contractor for the NATO forces was the apparent target, he added.
So far, there has been no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. Similar attacks in in the past have been claimed both by the Taliban as well as by pro-ISIL armed groups.
