A series of rush-hour car bombs left two people dead in Kabul, officials said Tuesday, while a police vehicle was targeted in an attack north of the Afghan capital.
Assaults during the morning commute have become a favored tactic of insurgents, who remotely detonate bombs attached to target vehicles.
Police spokesperson Ferdaws Faramarz told reporters two people were killed and two injured in a first blast, while a second targeting an interior ministry vehicle wounded two security personnel.
There were no reports of casualties from a third blast.
Deadly violence has ravaged the country in recent months, particularly in Kabul, with near-daily attacks against government officials, security personnel, journalists and other prominent Afghans.
Separately, a police vehicle was targeted north of Kabul in Parwan province, but the blast caused no casualties, police said.
