Car bomb, gunfire rock Afghanistan's capital Kabul

A massive blast rocked Afghanistan's capital city of Kabul on Tuesday evening. The blast was reportedly a suicide attack carried out using a car bomb around 8 pm (local time) in downtown Kabul, not far from the heavily fortified 'Green Zone'. Initial reports indicate that the blast took place at Ansari Square in Shahr-e Naw in north-west Kabul. Officials are yet to confirm whether the blast led to loss of life.

Hours after the blast, Afghan media reported that a firefight was underway between PD4 and PD10 in the 'Green Zone', which houses embassies, government buildings and the homes of top Afghan officials.
