An Afghan security source said an explosion in the Maiwand Road area of downtown Kabul had killed five people and injured more than five other people.
Kabul police spokesman Ferdows Faramarz told local media that, "The incident took place at around 2:50 pm today (Tuesday, July 13) in the Chowk district of Maiwand Road."
Faramarz said the type of blast had not yet been determined and that investigations were underway on the blast.
