“Today morning an explosion took place outside Kabul military airport, due to which a number of our citizens were martyred and injured,” spokesman Abdul Nafi Takor told Reuters, adding that investigations are underway.

Local residents said a loud explosion was heard before 8am in the vicinity of the military side of the heavily fortified airport.The Taliban-run administration has been faced with a bloody insurgency waged by the Islamic State group, which has in recent weeks targetted a number of key installations in Kabul, including the Russian and Pakistani embassies as well as the office of the country’s former Prime Minister.
