A relatively heavy explosion rocked Kabul city earlier on Monday evening leaving at least three people wounded.

The security officials confirmed an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attack targeted a police vehicle in the vicinity of Kart-e-Char located in the Police District#3 of the city.

The officials further added that the incident took place close to the ministry of education.

This comes as one person was wounded in an explosion in Kabul city after a magnetic bomb explosion ripped through a police vehicle in the center of the city on Friday.

The anti-government armed militant groups have been widely using magnetic bombs in the city during the recent months to target the Afghan security and government officials.

At least 2 soldiers lost their lives and three civilians were wounded in a similar incident in Kabul city late last month.

Earlier, two militants were killed in a premature explosion in Kabul province as they were planting an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in a roadside.
