Afghan police said at least seven people were killed and several wounded in a blast near the foreign ministry in Kabul on Wednesday, SIA refers to foreign media.
A suicide bomber blew himself up near Afghanistan's foreign ministry where a Chinese delegation had been due to meet on Wednesday, causing more than 20 casualties, Taliban officials and witnesses said.
The Taliban claim to have improved security since storming back to power in 2021 but there have been scores of bomb blasts and attacks, many claimed by the local chapter of the Islamic State (IS) group.
An AFP team was conducting an interview inside the information ministry next door when Wednesday's blast took place.
A company driver waiting outside saw a man with a backpack and rifle slung over his shoulder walk past before the man blew himself up.
Two Russian embassy staff members were killed in a suicide bombing outside their mission in September in another attack claimed by IS.
According to the Russian diplomatic mission in Kabul, the employees of the Russian embassy in the capital of Afghanistan are safe. There is no information about Russians injured in the explosion.
