Kabul: At least seven people died in the dual attacks in Afghanistan's Kabul city on Wednesday, reports said.
According to the country's Ministry of Public Health, 17 others were injured in the attacks, which took place on Wednesday afternoon, near police headquarters.
"First a suicide bomber detonated his explosives close to the gate of PD13 and the second bomber entered inside the compound and he was killed by police after 20 minutes of clashes," Kabul Police Chief Daud Amin said on Thursday.
“The attackers had security forces uniform and were equipped with RPG, hand grenade and guns," he added.
