Story

Around 25 people were killed and more than 50 wounded in an attack on Afghanistan's biggest military hospital in the center of Kabul on Tuesday  (November 2).

The two heavy explosions took place at the entrance of the 400-bed Sardar Mohammad Daud Khan hospital and were followed by an assault by a group of gunmen.

A Taliban spokesman said four of the attackers were killed by Taliban security forces and a fifth was captured.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility. But the official Bakhtar news agency quoted witnesses saying a number of fighters from the Afghan affiliate of ISIS entered the hospital and clashed with security forces, Reuters reported.
