A car bomb hit the center of Kabul late on Monday, following Taliban suicide attack near the Defense Ministry, leaving at least 24 dead, including a number of senior security officials, and wounded 91 others.
As Reuters informs, gunmen who followed the initial attack appeared to have barricaded themselves into a building and security forces blocked off a large area in the city center.
Earlier on Monday, twin blasts tore through an afternoon crowd in a crowded area of the city close to the Defense Ministry.
The Taliban immediately claimed responsibility for that attack, in which a suicide bomber caught security forces personnel and civilians who rushed to help victims of the first explosion.
