Takribani Watu 40 wameuawa na wengine mamia kujeruhiwa baada ya kutokea kwa mlipuko katika Mji wa Kabul kwenye eneo lenye ofisi za mashirika na taasisi mbalimbali
Katika mlipuko huo Wanawake na Watoto ni miongoni mwa waliofariki na kujeruhiwa.
======
At least 40 people have been killed and dozens wounded in a blast in Kabul near the offices of a news agency and a Shia cultural centre, the interior ministry has said.
The explosion early on Thursday struck an area close to both the Afghan Voice news agency and Tebyan cultural centre, local media reported.
Women and children were among those killed.
1TV News, quoting an interior ministry spokesman, said a suicide bomber was likely to have been behind the attack.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the Taliban has denied involvement.
Mushtaq Rahim, a regional security expert, told Al Jazeera from Kabul that there were several members of the Afghan Shia community in the area.
"They [Afghan Shia] have been targeted in Afghanistan throughout 2017," he said.
The fact a media outlet was among the targets was also important, Rahim said, because whichever group was behind the assault was seeking more coverage.
