At least four people have been killed and 13 injured in a suicide attack in central Kabul, Afghan officials say.

A spokesman for Kabul police told the BBC the bomber was thought to be as young as 12 or 13. The so-called Islamic State has said it was behind the attack.

Ambulances have been ferrying victims of the blast in the capital’s diplomatic zone to hospital. The number of dead and injured is expected to rise. 

A Reuters TV crew counted eight people who appeared dead.  In May a huge bomb in the capital’s so-called Green Zone – where many diplomatic missions are based – left more than 150 people dead.
