At least 10 people were killed and 60 injured when an explosion rocked the diplomatic area of the Afghan capital, police said.

Police said it was a suicide attack on a foreign military convoy which was travelling through the area, reports BBC.

A health ministry official said nine Afghans and one foreigner were killed.

According to witnesses, the attack took place in Abdul Haq square's Macroryan area, Khaama Press reported.

No group has said it carried out the attack, although in recent months Kabul has been regularly targeted by the Taliban in a series of bombings.
