At least 12 people have been killed in a suicide bomb blast outside Afghanistan's Supreme Court in central Kabul, officials have said.
At least 10 more were wounded in the explosion near a side door to the building used by employees, rather than the main entrance, Interior Ministry deputy spokesperson Najib Danish said on Tuesday.
It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the attack, but twin bombings in the same area last month which killed around 50 people were claimed by the Taliban.
Extremists have attacked the top court and its employees in the past, as well as court buildings in other provinces.
2017's attacks come after a period of relative calm in Afghanistan's capital despite the years of Taliban insurgency aimed at overthrowing the government and removing foreign soldiers from Afghan soil, as well as more recent attacks by Isis.
Last year was the deadliest year on record for civilian casualties since 2001, with 3,498 recorded deaths, the UN says.
