Afghanistan's interior ministry said the attacker was shot and killed.
A government spokesman revealed that a suicide bomber got killed at the gate of a passport office in the Afghan capital, Kabul, on Thursday, and several people got injured in the blast, according to unconfirmed reports.
A spokesman for Afghanistan's interior ministry said the attacker was shot and killed while trying to enter the passport office area.
A member of the Taliban movement, who was an eye-witness, told Reuters that many were injured and that Taliban security forces closed the building and the surrounding streets in the area.
Large crowds of Afghans were crammed outside the passport office in a bid to get travel documents in recent days after the service was restarted after weeks of suspension.
Thursdays are designated as a special day for Taliban officials to visit the passport office to obtain travel documents, according to officials.
