The death toll from a blast in a busy commercial area close to the US embassy in Kabul rose to five and nine injuries, ABC News reported Tuesday.

Basir Mujahid, spokesman for the Kabul police chief, said Tuesday’s explosion likely targeted a branch of the privately owned Kabul Bank. The US Embassy compound is located about 500 meters (yards) down the road from the Kabul Bank.

No party has claimed responsibility for the blast so far.
