An unknown number of gunmen have launched an attack on an intelligence service centre in the capital, Kabul.
There are no details on casualty figures yet.
The assault on Thursday morning started at approximately 10.15am local time at the training centre in the city’s Qala-e-Wazir area.
“At the moment, we are trying to evacuate people trapped inside the building,” the Kabul police spokesman Hashmat Stanikzai, told Al Jazeera.
“Afghan security forces have cordoned off the area as the clashes are ongoing.”
Residents told local media at least one explosion was heard in the area.
The attack comes a day after a suicide bomber killed at least 34 people in front of an education centre west of Kabul.
