The suicide bomber near the NATO military column in Kabul. Victims of the attack were at least eight people. Reported three wounded US military.

Another 25 people were injured. Basically it's locals.

The official representative of the NATO mission, US Navy captain Bill Salvin said that three US servicemen were injured. He specified that the armored personnel carriers could return to the base after the attack.

The explosion rattled in Kabul near the US Embassy in the morning rush hour. This area is one of the busiest in the capital of Kabul.

The purpose of the attack was a column of armored personnel carriers of the NATO mission in Afghanistan. The explosion destroyed or damaged several cars that were near the passing convoy.

While no group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

Earlier, the Afghan Taliban threatened attacks on foreign military personnel in the country. They announced a spring offensive on the enemy's positions last week.

In late April, the Taliban attacked a military base near Mazar-i-Sharif. The number of casualties among the Afghan military was then estimated at 200. The militants, disguised as military men, caught the military unawares. The attack occurred at a time when soldiers were leaving the mosque on the base site after the Friday prayer. The attackers also killed soldiers who were in the dining room. The Taliban claimed that they used suicide bombers to break through the outer perimeter of the base's defense.



In Afghanistan, after the attack on the base near Mazar-i-Sharif, national mourning was declared. Afghanistan's Minister of Defense and chief of staff have resigned after the attack of the Taliban.

In early March, more than 30 people were killed and more than 50 were injured as a result of militant attacks on the largest military hospital in Kabul. Then the responsibility for the attack was assumed by the "Islamic state". Militants then disguised as doctors. This is reported by the Air Force.
