At least two killed in blast near Afghanistan’s foreign ministry

A suicide attack not far from Afghanistan’s foreign ministry has killed at least six civilians and wounded several others, the interior ministry has said.

The attacker was targeted by Afghan forces but the explosives he carried detonated and “killed six civilians and wounded a number of others”, an official in the ministry said today, Monday.

A blast in January killed at least five people and injured dozens at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as employees streamed out of the building at the end of their work day.
