A bombing in the Afghan capital targeted the convoy of the country’s first vice president, killing 10 people and wounding more than a dozen others, including several bodyguards, the Interior Ministry has said.

No-one immediately claimed responsibility for the bombing and the Taliban quickly denied they were behind the attack in Kabul.
