An explosion tore through a hotel in a heavily guarded part of central Kabul yesterday, killing seven people and injuring several others, authorities in the Afghan capital said.
Kabul police spokesperson Khalid Zadran said the hotel was in the commercial Shahr e Naw neighbourhood that includes large office buildings, shopping complexes and embassies. The district is considered one of the safest in Kabul.
Videos shared on social media showed debris scattered on the street outside and smoke spewing from a large hole torn into the front of the hotel building.
