The Afghan Police's Crisis Response Unit (CRU) killed all three attackers on CARE NGO in Kabul and rescued 42, local media reported Tuesday, citing Ministry of Interior spokesman Sediq Sediqqi.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The attackers launched the assault at 11 p.m. on Monday [18:30 GMT], detonating a car bomb outside the NGO building and then storming it, TOLO News reported. Police confirmed that one civilian was killed and six were wounded.

​On Monday, three blasts rocked the Afghan capital, killing at least 36 people and wounding some 40. The attack was reportedly perpetrated by the Taliban militant group.

Afghanistan has been gripped by political, social and security-related instability for decades, as radical extremist organizations continue to stage attacks against civilian and military targets.
