The explosion killed fourteen people, the country's interior ministry reported, according to AFP.
The blast took place early on Monday in the Pul-e-Charkhi area of Kabul and injured a further 23 people, with most victims being Nepalese and Philippine nationals, the TOLOnews channel reported, citing a police official.
There is no immediate information on the cause of the blast.
Afghanistan is experiencing political, social and security instability, as the Taliban Islamic movement and other radical extremist organizations such as Daesh militant group, prohibited in many countries, including the United States and Russia, continue staging attacks against civilian and state targets, seeking to establish the rule of Sharia law in the country.
