Kabul explosion: Huge blast rocks Afghan capital

A huge explosion has rocked the Afghan
capital, Kabul.
Witnesses said the blast struck at about
01:25 local time on Monday (20:55 GMT
Sunday) and was heard across most of the
city.
Reports suggest it was a lorry bomb at a
compound housing foreign contractors and up
to four attackers may be involved.
The electricity in parts of Kabul was reportedly
briefly cut off shortly before the explosion.
Earlier reports suggested the blast was in a
gas storage facility.
Last week, two suicide bombers linked to the
so-called Islamic State (IS) killed 80 people
and wounded 230 more in Kabul.
