Kabul hotel attack ends as three gunmen killed; two foreigners injured

KABUL: A loud blast and gunfire were heard in the Afghan capital Monday near a hotel popular with Chinese business visitors, a witness said.
The Taliban claim to have improved national security since storming back to power in August last year but there have been scores of bomb blasts and attacks, many claimed by the local chapter of the Daesh group.
“It was a very loud explosion and then there was a lot of gunfire,” the witness said. Afghan media also reported similar details.
