Ten people were killed and 20 others wounded in a suicide blast that rocked Kabul city on Monday.
The blast took place in Dehmazang area where compounds of border and civil order police are located, Khaama Press reported.
Mohammad Ayoub Salangi, a top police official, confirmed the casualties.
"In the Dehmazang square suicide attack, 10 people have been reportedly killed and 20 wounded. Most of them are civilians," read a post on the official twitter account of Gen. Salangi.
No group had yet claimed responsibility for the incident.
