The blast in Sarai Shahzada, Afghanistan
According to witnesses, an explosion occurred on Sunday at Afghanistan's largest money exchange market in Kabul.
According to a witness, "a blast rocked Sarai-Shahzada in Kabul," adding that numerous people have been injured.
The exact number of casualties and injured has not yet been confirmed.
No group has claimed responsibility for the blast and there have been no reports of the cause.
Update:
The Interior Ministry said on social media that the explosion was caused by an attempted robber who hurled a grenade at the market and that 10 people were hurt.
The suspect appears to be on the run. The Ministry said it had opened an investigation and a manhunt was underway to catch the suspect.
Afghanistan has been increasingly subject to terrorist attacks since the US troops' withdrawal from its soil, which they had occupied for two decades at the time of their departure.
