At least 20 people have been killed in a suicide bombing at Afghanistan’s Supreme Court in Kabul, officials say.
Another 45 people were injured. The number of casualties is expected to rise.
The bomber targeted the car park of the court compound, reports say. The injured are being ferried to hospitals.
There was no immediate claim for the attack, which follows a number of deadly bombings by the Taliban and other militants in recent months.
The attack came hours after a senior district official in western Farah province was killed in a bombing claimed by the Taliban.
The suicide bomber in Kabul appeared to be targeting court employees as they left the court to go home, officials said.
