A number of foreigners were killed and wounded when a minibus was hit by a bomb blast in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. Conflicting reports claim that up to 14 Nepalese guards inside the vehicle perished in the attack.

AFP reported that at least 14 people died in the blast.

A witness described seeing multiple victims and two injured individuals. The victims were reportedly being rescued from the mangled vehicle.

Reports on Twitter earlier claimed that it was a suicide bombing and that the vehicle targeted was used by foreigners.

Meanwhile, Ariana News said that Nepalese guards were inside the targeted minibus.

At least 13 people were killed and another 26 injured in the attack on the minivan, most of whom were Nepali citizens, Afghan journalist Bilal Sarwary said, citing a terrorism official from Kabul.
