Afghanistan: The blast "occurred near the Ministry of Martyrs and Disabled" offices, police said.
Kabul:
The Taliban claimed responsibility on Wednesday for a car bomb attack on the residence of Afghanistan's acting defence minister, while a blast near the office of the main security agency in Kabul just hours later wounded three people.
Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said the group targeted the residence on Tuesday night, adding that an important meeting was underway at the time.
The defence minister survived, but the attack represented a deterioration in the country's security situation and a sign that the capital was at risk of violence as the insurgents take control of swathes of territory.
