KABUL: Hours after US officials warned of the possibility of a terror attack, a loud blast was heard in the Afghan capital Kabul today. According to reports, the blast was heard from the Gulai area of Khajeh Baghra in the 11th security district. Reports also claimed that the blast might have been caused by a rocket hitting a residential house in the area.
Photos and videos of large plumes of smoke rising from a heavily congested residential area surfaced on social media soon after the blast took place.

The United States also warned of a “specific, credible threat” near Kabul airport and urged its citizens to leave the area, days after a deadly attack on crowds fleeing Taliban rule in Afghanistan.
This comes days after a tragic blast at the capital city’s airport, killing over a 150 people. Scores of Afghan civilians were killed in the Kabul bombing Thursday, along with 13 US troops — several of them born around the time US military operations in Afghanistan began 20 years ago.
