A large explosion ripped through the centre of Afghanistan's capital Kabul on Saturday, sending a massive plume of smoke into the sky above the city. There was no immediate word on casualties.
The blast occurred around 8:40 a.m. local time, the CBC's Susan Ormiston reported from the capital.
The Associated Press reported the smoke was coming from the direction of the U.S. embassy.
The explosion comes less than a week before the country holds elections for president and provincial councils.
