A suicide bomber targeting a military academy in the capital of Kabul has left up to six people dead, said Afghan authorities.
Six others were also wounded in the bombing on Thursday, according to a statement by the Interior Ministry, the Associated Press (AP) reported.
The soldier noticed a suspicious person and approached him, causing the attacker to detonate his explosives near the Mashal Fahim academy, the statement said.
Ferdus Faramarz, spokesman for the Kabul police chief, said police are trying to get more details about the bombing in western Kabul.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, noting that the academy was a target for militants in the past.
According to AP, both the Taliban and ISIS are active in Kabul and have staged large-scale attacks in the Afghan capital.
