A car bomb that exploded near the German embassy in Kabul has killed and wounded about 50 people, according to Afghan officials, The Guardian reports.
The explosion occurred at the peak of Kabul’s rush hour when roads are packed with commuters.
Several people were killed and wounded in the blast near the fortified entrance to the German embassy, said Basir Mujahid a spokesman for Kabul police.
"It was a car bomb near the German embassy, but there are several other important compounds and offices near there too. It is hard to say what the exact target is," Mujahid said.
