A truck bomb exploded near an army compound in the center of the Afghan capital on Friday, killing at least 15 people and wounding close to 250, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani's office said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the explosion, which shook the center of Kabul and ripped through homes and shops, and was heard from miles around the city. Sources told Al Jazeera that the target of the attack had been a nearby Afghan military base.
"A truck bomb detonated close to an army compound," said Kabul police chief Abdul Rahman Rahimi.
Police expect the number of dead to rise, as buildings had collapsed and bodies were feared buried in the wreckage.
