Kabul: a strong explosion was followed by sporadic shots hit by the capital of Afghanistan Kabul on Tuesday near the city of “Green Zone” which was very fortified, an area that returned to government buildings and foreign embassies, police officials said.
At least three people were killed and seven others were injured, said Ghulam Dastagir Nazari, a ministry spokesman for the Ministry of Health, added that the clash continued.
A senior security official said the explosion seemed to be caused by car bombs and clear targets was the residence of parliamentarians.
Two gunmen were still in the area and collided with Afghan security forces, the official said.
Several houses belonging to Afghan officials, members of parliament and leading residents in siege in sustainable clashes, said residents.
The city emergency hospital said in a tweet that had so far received six people injured in the attack.
There are no groups that are immediately claimed responsibility.
A few minutes after the explosion of hundreds of civilians in Kabul came out to the streets and shouted Allahu Akbar (God’s greatest) to express their support for the Afghan government forces and opposition to the Taliban.
Marnight March spilled throughout the city with most men and several women joined the demonstration, carrying candles and flag Afghanistan to signify the opposition to unite with the hardline Islamic group.
“Worldwide can choose to be quiet about what happens in Afghanistan but we cannot and will not remain silent again, we will stand side by side with our security forces until our last breath,” said a demonstrator in Kabul us with the terms of anonymity.
The population last week at West Herat challenged the streets even though it was close to struggling to protest the Taliban.
Other cities were quickly arranged to join songs from their homes at night, as a message of support for fought security forces.
Clashes between Afghan and Taliban forces are increasingly intensive throughout the country with rebel groups to get control over the examination points, trade posts and infrastructure projects.
Afghan forces begged the residents of the South City of Lashkargah to leave their homes and move away from areas where the Taliban took control, because they intended to launch operations against the group.
The Taliban said their fighters in Kabul killed a Governor of the Provincial District of Maidan Wardak on Tuesday, the latest in a series of murders by rebel groups aimed at eliminating senior officials and social activists.
