Afghan officials report a huge explosion and subsequent gunbattle near the offices of the attorney general in the capital, Kabul.
KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghan officials are reporting a huge explosion near the offices of the attorney general in the capital, Kabul.
Two police officials say Wednesday’s explosion was followed by a gunbattle between militants and security forces. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief journalists.There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the Taliban and an Islamic State affiliate carry out frequent attacks in the capital and elsewhere, often targeting the U.S.-backed government and its security forces.
