An explosion near a school in the western part of the Afghan capital Kabul has killed at least 10 people and wounded dozens more, a security official said on condition of anonymity.
Interior Ministry spokesman Tariq Arian said there were casualties from the blast on Saturday but did not provide more detail on exact figures or what caused the explosion.
The cause was not immediately clear.
There was conflicting information about the possible cause, with some local media initially reporting three blasts caused by rockets, while other reports suggested the explosion was caused by a car bomb.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for a possible attack.
Both the Taliban and Islamic State militant groups are active in Afghanistan.
